I want to do the follwing think

I have several data records and one part of the data record contains a timestamp. I would now like to compare each one until it is older than the one I am comparing with. I was thinking of a Do until. To increment the count, I incremented a counter after each run to have the next data set to compare.
I tried to do this with the following function. Unfortunately this does not work. where is my error in thinking

@{outputs('Bearbeiter_Filtern_nach_KTG-Online')?['body'][variables('Counter')]?['LetzteZuweisung']}

Re: Do until Loop

This example is looking for a number in a list of items that equals 313. Same idea as what you are trying to do:

Get your items

Set a Boolean variable to false that you will use to tell the Do until when to stop

The do until:

Apply to each on each item from the Get items action

Condition you want to process until it finds a match (in my example, where a number equals 313).

If it finds a match, on the yes side set the Boolean variable you initialized for the Do until to false so it stops.

Then the compose action is just to validate that it found the match, which in this example was found on the 8th item:

Re: Do until Loop

Inside your do until, are you using an Apply to each to compare all of the items until it finds an older one? If not, try it that way.
