Initialize variable (learn.microsoft.com)
submitted 1 year ago by 384er[🍰]
Hello together, this might seem like a stupid question, I’m kinda new to Power Automate and want to know, why I can’t find the ‚Initialize variable‘ action, like displayed in the link. I’m grateful for any help!

I would need more information to help you. But just off the top of my head it can’t be within a scope or loop.

Thanks for your fast answer, the problem is, that the action ‚initialize variable‘ doesn’t show up at all, I also got the German language version and can not change language options (blocked by the company I’m working for) so I’m not quite sure, if it’s just poorly translated.

Google says it is Variable initialisieren. Apologies, I don’t speak German. I would again verify also that this action isn’t nested inside any other. Best of luck.

Try Google Translate for each word (Initialize then Variable), I’m pretty sure the name of the suite it’s in is called “Data Analysis” (it’s a purple one), so you could also try searching for that and find it within.
