Posted on by MishkaGrizzly 20
Hi,
 
Would someone be able to find a simple solution to join array values into a single string?


I have an output data that looks like this: 

 
[
  {
    "FirstName": "Peter"
  },
  {
    "FirstName": "James"
  }
]
 

I am trying to get the output of it that would say 

Peter and James

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

    Hello,
    I think you are trying to do this using Power Automate.
    If this is the case, then you can use the join function.

    Use this expression in a Compose or any text field

     
    join(body('Select'), ' and ')
     

    🔸 Replace Select With the name of your Select action that extracts the FirstName values.

     

    Example Flow Snippet:

     

    1.  

      Select → Extract FirstName

       
      {
      "From": your array,
      "Map": {
      "": item()['FirstName']
      }
      }

    2.  

      Compose (or similar) → Use:

       
      join(body('Select'), ' and ')


      3.  
     

    Output: Peter and James
