Power Automate- Parse JSON- Power Apps- SharePoint Choice Column Value - Clean up Parse JSON output

My Parse JSON action was giving me this:
"{""Value"":""Allentown""}" as my text Value for my CSV

Sharepoint List- Json for when a text column is not Null change background color of the Name column

Change the background color of one Sharepoint List column based on if another Sharepoint list column is empty, blank or null.
*****Note: This will only work correctly if your Multi-Line Text / String Column is Plain text. Make sure the column is set to plain text. (Not Rich text or Enhanced rich text)

 

Power Automate- HTTP Request- Error- Sharepoint List does not exist- SharePoint Subsite Sharepoint list

Instead of looking for the Sharepoint list by Title, look for it by ID.

_api/web/lists/getbyid('%7B23bb13e3-ed19-42c4-9dd6-524136b89925%7D')/items(@{triggerOutputs()?['body/ID']})/versions(@{outputs('Get_changes_for_an_item_or_a_file_(properties_only)')?['body/SinceVersionId']})

How to find your sharepoint list ID?

Power Automate- HTTP Request: Cannot recognize sharepoint list column that begins with a number, how to find the column name to use

When trying to get the column name from a "Send an HTTP request to Sharepoint" action, because I was trying to get the column value BEFORE the value was changed. I need to log the old value into a "log" column.

In the Sharepoint List,  I named the column "2026-Assignments" and the column name looked like, "_x0032_026_x002d_Assignments" when I looked at the columns url in list settings. Example below:

Data Flows- Power Query M code- Get the percentage using two columns- Cheater code

I want percentage of days a student missed out of the school year. 

Add a custom column and put:

 

if [DaysEnrolled] <> null and [DaysEnrolled] <> 0 then

    Number.Round(([UNEXCUSED_ABS] / [DaysEnrolled]) * 100, 2)

else

    0

Power Query- Power Platform Data Flow- Counts Days within date range- [Date Column] - Today's date- remove weekends and Holidays

Create a dynamic date range with today's date being the end date. Counts all the "Business" days with no weekends or holidays.laugh

Power Automate- JSON get uploaded file from MS Forms to add as Attachments in Sharepoint List - Cheater Expressions

Grab the Uploaded file from the MS Forms response

json(outputs('Get_response_details')?['body/ra8991ac565984ed196be90f7feb58394'])

Power Query - Dataflow - get rid of duplicate entries/ values in "Group by" function

I have a column that I grouped by tracking number. I want to display how many items in the shipments went to each student. 
I had a column that had the shipped dates so when I grouped by tracking date, I got duplicate dates I didn't need.

***Note: I changed my date field to a text column in another step. I was doing something else with the data, like using power automate to write the outputs to a CSV and I didn't want to deal with the whole "Format Date and Time" in Power automate.             ++

Here's the cheat FX:
