Is there any possibility for adding thousand separator inside an Azure Logic App Expression?
I'm creating an Azure Logic App which sends an JSON to an REST Service. The JSON is build inside the Logic App with a Compose. The Data for the JSON comes from different REST Services.
The Services deliver me numbers like "13251", "11231543.3" etc.
I need to transform and send the numbers with thousand separator like "13.251", "11,231,543.3" etc.
My code looks like:
{
"Item": {
"nr": "#{body('current')?['nr']}",
"amount": "#{body('current')?['amount']}",
}
}
So I basically need something like: .ToString("#,##0.00")
"13251" => "13.251"
"11231543.3" => "11,231,543.3"
Thanks for your help!
You cannot send numbers with thousand separators in Json, since it will invalidate the Json.
Consider this Json:
{
"age": 123,456.0
}
This will be seen as:
{
"age": 123,
456.0
}
Which is invalid Json.
If you wish to format it as a string: there doesn't seem to be a conversion available to format numbers. There are several format-enabled conversions for DateTime.

You might want to try the Execute JavaScript code action for this. Sample:

Hope this Helps!
It can be achieved in logic app, but it's complicated. We can use "Math functions" in logic app(div and mod) and we also need to use "String functions", "if condition", "until" and initialize some variables. I achieved it by the actions and methods I mentioned above but it's too complicated. I think it is easy for us to do it by add additional code in azure function.

I have a data factory pipeline that receives JSON files from an Azure Blob storage.
These files have the following structure:
{
"Time": {
"UTC": {
"Sent": "2020-09-01T11:45:00.0Z"
}
},
"LocalTime": {
"Original": {
"Sent": "2020-09-01T13:45:00+02:00"
}
}
}
When the lookup data activity gets the file from the blob it parses the localtime to UTC. I would like to ignore the offset and just grab the datetime as is.
How do I go about doing this?
According your comment:
We decided to solve this by stripping the offset with regex while
moving the folder to the blob using a logic app.
We are glad to hear that you found a solution to solve it. I help you post it as answer, others can ref this way. This also can be beneficial to other community members. Thank you!
Thanks for posting the ask , as definitely I had never thought it would behave the way its did . For clarity of others when we try
#activity('Lookup1').output.firstRow.LocalTime.Original.Sent will give the output as "2020-09-01T11:45Z" and not "2020-09-01T13:45:00+02:00".
This is what I tried while creating the Dataset , create it as if the file is delimited and not JSON ( this is what i think you are doing ) and the intend is to read the content of the whole file as string . Please make the adjustment to the Column& row limiter as shown below
Now you can use the expression ( i hate to hard code , but then we can suyre make it dynamic )
#substring(string(activity('Lookup1').output.firstRow),187,16)
Output
{
"name": "Datepart",
"value": "2020-09-01T13:45"
}

I am trying to make a generic Logic App(LA) to do some processing on some files. Calling the Logic App from ADF and able to pass the correct File Names. However I am not able to use/assign values passed to the Logic App to the parameters defined in the LA. What am I Missing ? Please see the screenshot.
-Thanks
Sample Execution to show the names are passed properly.
As far as I know, we can't assign PRM_FileName from the body of the request to one parameter. But we can use expression to get the value of PRM_FileName.
The expression should be triggerBody()?['PRM_FileName']. You can also assign PRM_FileName to a variable (for example named var1) and you can use the var1 in your next actions but not use the expression(shown as below screenshot).
============================Update===========================
Below is my logic app:
I did everything what you mentioned in your 3 steps except I put the PRM_FileName in the body of the request but not appending it at the end of url.
============================Update 2===========================
Please use same schema with mine:
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"PRM_FileName": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
And then select the PRM_FileName into the variable directly(shown as below screenshot).
The expression should be triggerBody()?['PRM_FileName'], but in your screenshot the expression is triggerOutputs()['queries']['PRM_FileName'].
Rephrasing question entirely, as first attempt was unclear.
In my logic app I am reading a .json from blob which contains:
{
"alpha": {
"url": "https://linktoalpha.com",
"meta": "This logic app does job aaaa"
},
"beta": {
"url": "https://linktobeta.com",
"meta": "This logic app does job beta"
},
"theta": {
"url": "https://linktotheta.com",
"meta": "This logic app does job theta"
}
}
I'm triggering the logic app with a http post which contains in the body:
{ "logicappname": "beta" }
But the value for 'logicappname' could be alpha, beta or theta. I now need to set a variable which contains the url value for 'beta'. How can this be achieved without jsonpath support?
I am already json parsing the file contents from the blob and this IS giving me the tokens... but I cannot see how to select the value I need. Would appreciate any assistance, thank you.
For your requirement, I think just use "Parse JSON" action to do it. Please refer to the steps below:
1. I upload a file testJson.json to my blob storage, then get it and parse it in my logic app.
2. We can see there are three url in the screenshot below. As you want to get the url value for beta, it is the second one, so we can choose the second one.
If you want to get the url value by the param logicappname from the "When a HTTP request is received" trigger, you can use a expression when you create the result variable.
In my screenshot, the expression is:
body('Parse_JSON')?[triggerBody()?['logicappname']]?['url']
As the description of your question is a little unclear and I'm confused about the meaning of I am already json parsing the file contents from the blob and this IS giving me the tokens, why is "tokens" involved in it ? And in the original question it seems you want to do it by jsonpath but in the latest description you said without jsonpath ? So if I misunderstand your question, please let me know. Thanks.
Not sure if I understand your question. But I believe you can use Pars Json action after the http trigger.
With this you will get a control over the incoming JSON message and you can choose the 'URL' value as a dynamic content in the subsequent actions.
Let me know if my understanding about your question is wrong.
How can I make standard json keys schema for multiple API service.
What if on original response I want to map to specific keys?
Maybe adding or removing keys too?
I'd like to have same json keys output for all api services
for example: api service output:
{ "hello" : "word" }
but i want to response:
{"foo" : originalResponse.hello }
Thanks
I do not understand why the downvotes, the question seems legit to me.
In any case, you can achieve the use case by using the body modifier plugin we offer. Although it's not an official one, it should provide all you need to both add are move keys on a JSON payload based on any Javascript evaluable expression.
Cheers!
I was recently using ARM templates to deploy multiple resources into Azure. While deploying Storage accounts, I ran into an issue which was due to some constraints put up by Azure like
Name of Storage Account should not contain upper case letters
Its max length should be 24.
I want this name from the user and can handle the 2nd issue using the "maxLength" property on 'parameters'. But for lower case, there is no such property in 'parameters' also I'm unable to find any function which will convert the user entered value to lower case.
What I expect:
Method to convert the user entered value in lower case.
Any other method to suit my use case.
Thanks in advance.
You should look at the string function reference of the ARM templates.
you need to create a variable (or just add those functions to the name input, like so:
"name": "[toLower(parameters('Name'))]"
or add a substring method, something like this:
"variables": {
"storageAccountName": "[tolower(concat('sawithsse', substring(parameters('storageAccountType'), 0, 2), uniqueString(subscription().id, resourceGroup().id)))]"
},
