Updating a row without a unique value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

Hi,

I'm trying to drag data from one table into another (address) from a customer name column.

I understand unique ID's and the problem I have is that my table I need to update has multiple instances of the same entry, therefore flows will only update the first occurance. 

I have 2 tables, one of which just contains customer name, the second contains customer name and addresses.  I need to merge the address into the first one depending on which customer name the row contains.

I so far have 2 lots of get rows, from each table.  Then I have an update row trying to add the address with the customer name as the key column and the customer name from the second table as the unique value.

Is anybody aware of a workaround?

    Take a look at Power Query in Excel. 

    You are much better off using Power Query to meet your requirement than trying to use Power Automate.

    Thank you @ScottShearer , I have now done this through a merge power query and it's working as it should.
