How can i read a specific Column data in flow designer?

For example there exists a table A. I want to iterate through column c in the table A and read the values in that specific column. How can this be achieved?

By dot-walking into that field you access/read that data.

Providing a simple example below, where i retrieve some incident records.

Loop through all records found, then log the number (field value) of each incident.

What exactly is your requirement? There is a 'for each' function you can use and do something with it, depending on the value.

Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

iterating through the record gives the entire row. I am trying to read a specific cell/column in the returned record. How do i achieve that? For example if there are 5 columns a,b,c,d,e i want to read the column c in the returned record.

Hi,

Your question is a bit unclear, but I'll attempt an answer.

You can use the Look up records to retrieve records from a table with some specific condition/filter.

Then after that look up action, you can use the For each Flow logic, to iterate through the found records in the first step, and perform some action(s) on each record found.
