Power Automate - Error While Converting String to Number

By Vinod Thachin -

While working with flow, i had a requirement to convert string to Integer. Here i have two items, on is Direct Integer and another on i am getting from SharePoint List.

I have created an action to set the variable directly, but it was not worked by setting the value to a variable. I got an error by setting the the variable. For that i have created a compose action and converted the value to integer as shown the steps below.


in the compose action i have added the formulae as int(string Value). After that i have set the value to a variable as shown below.


Hope this helps.

Linksys Wireless Connection Failure

By -
I configured the Linksys wireless router [WRT54G] couple of years before and it just worked great. I myself configured the password and everything worked great at my home. Anyone comes in home takes my password and it just worked great most of the time. all these were with windows server 2003 and Dell machaines. When I bought a new Hp DV9000 (XP) I had an issue connecting to the home wireless. I started browsing and found this solution: Issue : Couldn't connect to the selected connection. 1.

Power Apps toPower Automate Error - The input body for trigger 'manual' of type 'Request' did not match its schema definition , the input String does not validate against the date

By Vinod Thachin -
While working with power Apps to Power automate, passing the Date time values as Text(DateTimeValue) throws error as below. The input body for trigger 'manual' of type 'Request' did not match its schema definition. Error details: 'String '' does not validate against format 'date'.'. After checking the Microsoft documentation and few blogs i found out the date values should be passed as a formatted date time. TO pass the date time  we need to use following functions. Text(<<DateTimePicker>>.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]yyyy-mm-dd") Even after passing the value i am still seeing the same issue and finally found out the default value ids sending as empty and formulae failing for empty values. So we need to make sure the Date Value should not go blank to the formulae and the value should be formatted using the formulae as above. Hope this helps.

 We can restrict the a Text box to allow only number by making the Format TextFormat.Number as below.  But this will allow decimal Number. We can restrict the Text Box to allow only whole numbers by writing the formulae for the TextBox Onchange as below If(     DataCardValue1.Text <> "" And Value(DataCardValue1.Text) <> RoundDown(         Value(DataCardValue1.Text),         0     ),     Notify("Please enter number without decimals");     Reset(DataCardValue1) )
