Posted on by Sam70 10
Hi,
 
I am trying to create a flow which will update a column in a Dataverse table with value from Excel. I am unable to do it and hence need help. The column to be updated in the DV table is of Choice type.

    You cannot directly update a Dataverse Choice column using text from Excel.
    You must convert the text value into the corresponding numeric option value before updating the record.
     
    You must map Excel text → Dataverse choice value
    Solution options
    Use a mapping inside Flow
    Example:
    Excel Value    Dataverse Value
    Approved    100000001
    Rejected    100000002
    In your flow:
     
    Use a Condition or Switch
     
    Switch(
        items('Apply_to_each')?['Status'],
        "Approved", 100000001,
        "Rejected", 100000002,
        "Pending", 100000000
    )
     
    Then pass this value into Dataverse update action
     
    Use “Get Choices” dynamically 
    You can:
    • Call Dataverse metadata
    • Retrieve option set values
    But:
    • More complex
    • Slower
    Usually not needed unless dynamic
     
    Store numeric values in Excel 
    Instead of text in Excel:
     
    Status
    100000001
    100000002
     
    Then directly update Dataverse
