Hi,

I'd like to know how to how to upsert Excel to SharePoint list. Excel column is used by filter query in Get Items and following actions, so it is configured 'nested loop'. Then create and update action doesn't work with no error.

Please give me someone advice for avoiding 'nested loop'

It is incremental update. Update exist records and insert new records.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for your reply.

Try flow step send an http request to SharePoint instead Get Items.

/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('listname')/Items?$select=Title&$filter=((Title eq 'example 1').

Next step use the JSON Parser. Then check the if condition to check the value is exists or not?

Thank you for reply.
Your suggestion is same result. Nested loop makes fail update or insert with no error. It seems Excel array and get_listItem (=Parse Json) array make the situation.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you mean that Flow is executed successfully, but isn't any item updated or created?

The occurrence of a nested loop is the expected result. I speculate that Filter Query causes the Body of Get items to be empty.

Please check the Flow run history and check the execution result of Get items.

In addition, you could try to improve your flow according to the screenshot below.

Best Regards,
