Hello !

 

I'm not sure if i am doing something incorrectly but when my filter tool results in zero rows, it is not executing the subsequent steps.

Hi  Vineet003

 

It seems no rows are matching the filter criteria, which is why subsequent steps aren't executing. I have attached the Excel ss with filtered rows, let me know if I mistakenly understand your question.

Hello @kamal03 ,

 

That is correct but i would still like to run the last formula i.e. IF [Count]= 0 THEN "There are no overdue response(s)" ELSE "Overdue response(s)" ENDIF

 

I am using this workflow to create various pieces for adding in the body of an email. How can i accomplish this ? I was thinking that even though the filter return 0 rows it would execute the subsequent steps

 

Thank you for helping !!

I think you are saying that the Summarize Tool will not count Zero record.

If you think this should be improved, you should raise an idea here.  ðŸ˜‚

Hi @Vineet003  

The workflow does execute, but there are zero records that meet the following criteria - i.e no reports are overdue yet.

 

If you are running this in the gallery and would like a report no matter if reports are overdue or not, suggest outputting via a reporting tool 

 

That said I suggest you review the filter formula - the below may help for easier debugging

 

[Due Date 2] < DateTimeToday() AND
DateTimeYear([Due Date 2]) NOT IN (2020,2021,2022)
AND IsNull([Submitted Date 2])

 

I am uploading my proposed workflow below . Hope it helps

Hi, @Vineet003 

 

As an alternative approach, FYI.
