Power Automate and AI Prompt how to handle numbers if data is missing

Use Case:

I have a AI Prompt that extracts data from a PDF that is emailed to a specified email account.

The are some number fields and  text fields that may be missing or empty from the PDFs.

The usual answer for a solution is the write into the Prompt:
"If you cannot find the relative data or row write NA."

However, that will not work for a Number column type in sharepoint or dataverse.

So I tried:

"If you cannot find the relative data or row write 0."

Bulk Delete for Dataverse using Power Automate for Dataflow Run

Case Use: Power App exports a file that is created after a button is clicked.  The Power Automate clears out the dataverse table, refreshes a dataflow, writes it to the clean dataverse table, then a csv file is created from the dataverse table and placed in a sharepoint document library.

This is only the Bulk Delete Action of my Power Automate. (Perform an Unbound action/ Dataverse Action)

Use:  I needed a power automation to create a new column after a certain date and the update the sharepoint item in the new column with values from two other columns.
IE: Our testing closes May 10 and I need to record the users that registered for current years test so we could see it next year.  The column that stores the current data is called "CurrentSchoolYR" so we can continue to use it in the future.
The archive column that will be created when the school year ends will be called assignments2026.
