Hi !

Do anyone has an idea on how to transform a collection that I get from Airtable to an Array in which each row is the data contained in one collection ?

Thanks,
Alex

Welcome to the Make community!

You can use the built-in function toArray

e.g.:

toArray(collection)

For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/help/functions/array-functions#toarray--collection-

Then, you can use map and get functions to extract the item values in the array.

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

Please provide the input and output bundles of the modules by running the scenario (or get from the scenario History tab), then click the white speech bubble on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A.

Save each bundle contents in your text editor as a bundle.txt file, and upload it here into this discussion thread.

Uploading them here will look like this:

module-1-input-bundle.txt (12.3 KB)
module-1-output-bundle.txt (12.3 KB)

B.

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles in this manner:

  • Either add three backticks ``` before and after the code, like this:

    ```
    input/output bundle content goes here
    ```

  • Or use the format code button in the editor:

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario even if they do not use the external service.

Following these steps will allow others to assist you here. Thanks!

Here is a screenshot of the dataset. I would like to transform it into an array.

One way of converting that text to an array is simply by using the built-in function split

e.g.:

{{ split(41.text; newline) }}

For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/help/functions/string-functions.html#split--text--separator-
