Nested For Each Loop

Posted on by Cryzle

Hello,

I'm currently working on implementing a nested "for each" loop in my project. I have two lists that will store invoicing text and invoicing amounts, each containing up to 10 entries. My goal is to iterate through these lists and utilize the stored variables within our third-party software, combining each text entry with its corresponding amount (e.g., Text1 + Amount1, Text2 + Amount2, and so on).

However, I've encountered an issue with my current approach. It doesn't iterate correctly; instead, it begins with the first text entry and then loops through all the amounts before moving on to the next text entry and repeating the process for all amounts, and so forth.

Thanks for your assistance

Hi @Cryzle

Here is the steps for creating the workflow

1) As you have two lists let's say first list is alphabetList and second is NumberList

2) Now use Set Variable and write the variable name as LoopIndex and value is 0

3) Use For Each action and the list is alphabetList

4) Now Inside the ForEach you can put DisplayMessage(For Demo) and write as %CurrentItem% + %NumberList[LoopIndex]%

5) use Increase Variable action inside the loop and set the value as 1

below is the screenshot of the flow for your reference

Cautious that you have the same number of elements in the both lists, else it will through the error

@Srini007 's solution will do the trick, but when indexes are needed, I would suggest using a normal Loop action, instead of a For each. You would then not need to add an action to increment your index variable, as the Loop action does that for you.

Use a Loop starting at 0, ending at %Rechnungstextlist.Count-1%, and incrementing a %LoopIndex% variable by 1. Then you can get the text as %Rechnungstextlist[LoopIndex]% and the amount as %Verkäufelist[LoopIndex]%.

This will make your flow cleaner, with less actions, and easier to read. But what Srini suggested will also work.
