Hello,

I have scheduled a Flow that runs every hour to Import Excel Items to SP list The Importation goes smoothly without any problems however once the Flow Import the 5K Rows in my Excel Files it re-import all the List again and again,

I set the flow once any item imported the Status for such item changes its Transfer Status to Transferred.

I'm not sure what makes such infinite loop even I’m Setting a condition if Transfer Status = "Pending" flow should copy the line. & another condition if Transfer Status not equal Transferred. even removed the Second condition and the results as is.

appreciating your detailed explanation by putting any expressions clear in your reply as I'm a bit new to the flow process. Thank you In advance.

Hi @sherif77

Presumably your condition is always evaluating to true?

2 things to consider
1. insert 2 compose actions (for debug) prior to the condition using the dynamic content you have supplied in the condition action. You can then run your flow and check the history to see what data is being returned by the dynamic values. Does it match you condition? Should it be evaluating true or there something wrong?
2. try a filter from the list rows action. If you haven't done this, you are returning all rows each time and will eventually have problems with limits and efficiency. Try and filter based on your column:
TransferStatus eq 'Pending'

Make sure you get the column name correctly from the body of a run history and also ensure pending is in the correct case.
