Power Automate: Calculate Soundex of a word with a flow

From the archive. This post dates from the blog’s Dynamics GP and early Power Platform era. Products and screenshots may have changed since it was written, and some of its links (PartnerSource and CustomerSource pages, legacy Maximum Global Business downloads, and other retired sites among them) may have been archived or may no longer be available.
In this video, I will be showing you how to use Power Automate to calculate the Soundex value of a word using a flow. This calculation uses the American standard algorithm, but can be adapted to support other algorithms developed for the English language.

 

In building the workflow you will learn how to use the Scope, Compose, and Append To String actions, the Do Until and If Then control structures, along with the substring(), replace(), add(), and mult() functions. Please leave your comments below.
