Hi,
I am facing a following problen. I have dashboard connected to mailboxes using Microsoft Exchange. I know it is possible to check if email have any attachment. But is it possible to get a count of attachment in each email?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @MarcinGal ,
There is Attachment column next to HasAttachments containing a table of attachments. You can create a custom column to count how many rows each table has.
Table.CountRows([Attachment])
You may need to expand the table if you're looking for a specific file type or you can filter each table prior to counting the rows
let
filteredtable = Table.SelectRows([Attachments], each [Extension] = ".xlsx" and [IsInline] = false )
in Table.RowCount(filteredtable)
//IsInline = TRUE means they are what you see on an email like a company logi or a custom image signature (if I am right) so filter this to false
//PQ recognizes false and not FALSE as the opposite of true
//PQ is case-sensitive
Each email has its own ID so you'll know which count is for

Thank you so much for your help! The only issue i encountered was that not in all cases there was a [IsInline] field. After removing it from function it works perfectly 😄
Hi @MarcinGal ,
You can use try ... otherwise ... to handle errors.
let
filteredtable1 = Table.SelectRows([Attachments], each [Extension] = ".xlsx" and [IsInline] = false ),
filteredtable2 = Table.SelectRows([Attachments], each [Extension] = ".xlsx" )
in Table.RowCount(try filtertable1 otherwise filteredtable2)

Hi @MarcinGal ,
So far, to my knowledge, this may not be achieveable.
