Write a flow which allows you to show the towns/cities for any specified UK region

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file.

In OneDrive, choose to upload the Excel workbook in the above folder:

Choose this option to upload a file. The workbook contains the top 110 towns and cities in the UK by population, divided into 11 regions. Someone has thoughtfully created a table for each of these 11 regions.

The aim of this exercise is that you should be able to set a variable to the name of one of these regional tables in a flow, and then get the flow to send yourself an email containing all of the towns and cities in the region you selected:

The list of towns in the North-West region

This is the email you'd receive if you set your variable to EnglandNorthWest for example.

Create a flow called Exercise NN - show cities for a given region (the clue as to what it will do is in the name!) to contain the following actions:

Action	What it should do
Initalize a variable	Set a variable called RegionName to hold (say) EnglandNorthWest, or any of the other table names in the workbook.
List rows present in a table	Get the rows in the table you've chosen.

Test this to check it works, then add in a Create HTML table action to list out each town/city name and its population:

This is tricky, as you won't be able to select the values on the right using dynamic content - see notes below.

Here are the expressions you should type in for the HTML table column values (you'll learn much more about these expressions later in the course!):

Column	Expression
Town or city	item()['Place']
Population	item()['Population']

Initialise another variable called css to hold the pasted contents of the text file in the above folder, then send yourself an email containing this css variable followed by the output from your Create HTML table action:

Your Send email action could look something like this.

Test that your flow sends you a different (nicely formatted) list of towns/cities for different regions!
