Incompatible Data Types
Comments
-
Ive been having an issue with data types as of recent. In one of my flows I am trying to combine multiple word documents and then convert the single merged document into a PDF. The "Combine Multiple Word Documents" step inputs a FileData type, but its output is a Byte. Thus, when I try to convert the merged document to a PDF, it does not let me because the input is not a FileData type. Is there anyway to fix this by casting the datatype or is there a step that converts Byte data into FileData?
Thank you

Adjusting the mappings should resolve this issue. Instead of the “select from flow” option on the “convert document” step select the “Build Data” option. This option will create a “Contents” field that accepts the Byte Data type. Then map the Byte output from the “Combined Multiple Word Document” step to the “Contents” field on the "convert document" step.

Thank you Jared! The steps above worked.
