• Add a Compose action and pass the apply to each current item that is presented under the dynamic content values.

• Save and test the flow by selecting the run flow option. In the below screenshot, we can see that our flow ran successfully.

• Add a Compose action and pass the apply to each current item that is presented under the dynamic content values.

• Now add a compose action and under expression pass the below expression, to get only the current item id.

item()?['ID']

• Once the flow has been saved, select the Test -> Manually -> Run flow option. In the below screenshot, we can see that our flow has run successfully.

• Select the instant cloud flow -> select trigger as Manually trigger a flow -> enter the flow name -> click create option.
• select the +new step and add the Get items to trigger action from the action triggers.
• Configure the SharePoint site address and list name. In the Filter Query, add the below expression to filter the employee’s Inactive status:

Status eq 'InActive'

• Now initialize an Array Variable with array type as shown below: we will use the initialized variables later in our flow.

• Now and apply to each action from action triggers to loop through the list items, select values from the dynamic content.
• Add a Compose action and pass the apply to each current item that is presented under the dynamic content values.

• Add a new step and choose Append to array action in the Name select the initialized Variable array (VarArray) and in the values action pass the below expression to get the current item value.

item()?['Int']

• Add a Compose action and pass the initialized variable array value as an input, to view the array value of the inactive employees.

• Once the flow has been saved, select the Test -> Manually -> Run flow option. In the below screenshot, we can see that our flow has run successfully.

Power Automate apply to each current item index

Let us see how to get an index for the apply to each control loop current item in Power Automate.

In Power Automate, iteration indexes work only in the do until loop, if we want to get an index value then we can change the apply to each loop to do until loop.

But there is another way to get the index of apply to each loop by creating a variable and incrementing within the loop.

To achieve this follow the below steps:

• Select the instant cloud flow -> select trigger as Manually trigger a flow -> enter the flow name -> click create option.
• select the +new step and add the Get items to trigger action from the action triggers.
• Configure the SharePoint site address and list name. In the Filter Query, add the below expression to filter the employee’s active status:

• Now initialize an integer Variable and pass the value as 0 like below:

• Now and apply to each action to loop through the list items, select values from the dynamic content.
• Add a Compose action and pass the apply to each current item that is presented under the dynamic content values.

• Add a new step, select the increment variable, and choose the previously initialized variable under the name, and in the value field pass the value as 1 to increment by 1 for each loop.

• Add a Compose action and pass the initialized variable as an input, to view the current item index value. Save and Test the flow.

• Once the flow ran successfully, for the first apply to each current item it displays the index value as 1.

• In the same way, for the third apply to each current item it displays the index value as 3.

This is how to get an index for the apply to each control loop current item in Power Automate.
