my flow runs 5 time by itself

Hi community,

I'm new to power automate. I recently created a flow to turn my excel data into a planner task.

Everything went well and the task is created in the format I want.

The only problem is that there are too many duplicated task created within a run.

My flow looks like this:

 

cpcdisplay_0-1679469884193.png

If I selected 1 row in excel and run flow. 5 exact same bucket and task are created ( go through "If no" process)

If I selected 2 row in excel and run flow. The first row would create again 5 same bucket and task ( go through "If no" process) ;

and the second row would create 5 task under the bucket created by the first row ( go through the "If yes" process) and create another 5 bucket and task (go through the "If no" process"). 

So the more row I created, the more duplicated task created. 

 

I have set the concurrency control on and lower the degree of parallelism to 1 in all the steps that I can changed but no vail.

Please give me some suggestion about how to adjust my flow.

Thank you so much.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I'm getting the values that I expected to return, but my problem is my flow is returning the same values for 5 time.

    Do you have any idea what might be the cause?

    for starters try putting the values you are testing in your condition into compose steps. This will help you evaluate if they are returning the values you expect them to return. I wish the compose action would show you the inputs not just the evaluation.
