Power Automate – Pagination

By Vinod Thachin -

While working with updating 9000+ records from Excel to SharePoint list, I see flow terminating after some time. (like 15 to 20 mins). After going in to the flow action flow successfully executed the records and deleted the processed entries (I am removing the successful entries).

Every time I see there were only 256 records processed without depending on the time (some time it is stopping at 15 mins and some time it is stopping at 25 mins). I have investigated the issue and found-out it is Pagination setting. We can see the same issue with SharePoint list. It will get only Top 100 records if there is no pagination.

By default Get Excel rows set to 256 rows as threshold if there is no Pagination set. We can set the Pagination for the List rows using the steps below.



Enable Pagination and Enter the Threshold value. I have entered it as 1024. While processing the Excel updates, it tool 1024 records and stop the flow.


Similarly, we can set the Pagination for Get List Item action to process and update the items.

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. Installed an update http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/thankyou.aspx?familyId=17d997d2-5034-4bbb-b74d-ad8430a1f7c8&displayLang=en Issue after the update : Acquiring Network address status and stayed there. Did the following after that: 1. Browsed http://192.168.1.1/ 2. used the user-id / password of the connection (default userid is empty & pwd is admin) 3. Navigated to wireless (Basic wireless settings), click Reset security and name your userid for SSID 4. Clicked save settings 5. cli

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.
