0:00 Intro
In Microsoft Power Automate Desktop, we have various variable types - here are the most common ones.
0:20 Text
A text variable is any text, from email addresses to the text content of a Word file. It's also the most used variable type in Power Automate Desktop. Give your text variable a name and then a value.
3:00 Numerical
A numerical value in Power Automate Desktop is a number. It's also the only variable type we can use for mathematical operations. When you want to do a calculation with a numerical variable, use the arithmetic operations inside the percentage signs surrounding the numerical value.
6:28 Boolean
A boolean can hold two values: True or False. We use it a lot when we want to evaluate something with a condition.
10:03 DateTime
A DataTime variable is always in the format "MM/d/yyyy hh:mm:ss". We can quickly convert (transform) it to any date or time we want.
13:40 List
A list is a collection of items, e.g., a list of text values, numericals, or booleans.
19:26 DataTable
A DataTable is a collection of DataRows. It looks and acts like an Excel sheet. In Power Automate Desktop, we use DataTables because they are faster to manipulate than Excel sheets.
26:03 Custom Object aka Dictionary
A custom object is key value pairs. It looks much like a JSON and can quickly be transferred to a JSON.
