Hi @Reponen 

 

Thank you very much nilendraFabric for your prompt reply.

 

For a single row,

 

@activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value[0].id

 

Assume the output of GetDataFromTable is as follows:

 

{
  "value": {
    "id": 123,
    "name": "example",
    "age": 30
  }
}

 

Then @activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value.id will return 123.

 

For multiple rows:

 

@array(activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value, item().id)

 

Assume the output of GetDataFromTable is as follows:

 

{
  "value": [
    { "id": 1, "name": "Alice" },
    { "id": 2, "name": "Bob" }
  ]
}

 

Then @array(activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value, item().id) will return [1, 2].

If i try to use it says that 

@Item() syntax can only be used in the filter activity or child activities of a foreach activity
@array(activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value, item().id)

 

This code works @activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value[0].id

but gives only first id.

I need a array of ids

Hello @Reponen 

 

Matching: Ensure the column name `id` matches exactly (case-sensitive) with your table schema.

 

 

 

@activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value[0].id

 

Or 

 

@activity('GetDataFromTable').output.value.id

 

if this is helpful please accept the answer and give kudos
