@007Nic It's best practice to have the Get Items action outside of the Apply to Each loop. This way you only need to call that action once to return all the items from your SP list—rather than how you currently have it set up where you are calling it 123 times (the number of rows in your Excel table).
I cover how to cross-reference an Excel table against a SP list in the first section of this tutorial: Are you using the Microsoft Power Automate Filter Array Action wrong?
Although I only cover how to Create a New SP Item (if it doesn't already exist) and how to Delete a SP item (if it doesn't exist in your Excel table)—the concepts covered in this tutorial should help you with your flow. Adjust the operator in the Filter Array action to suit your requirements.
In this video tutorial I’ll show you 3 practical ways to use the Filter Array action and how to use it properly.
1️⃣ Cross-Referencing Data
2️⃣ Filtering by Key
3️⃣ Substring Matching
Did you know that the Condition action has a limit of 10 conditions? Although it might look like the Filter Array action can only accept one condition—this is not true. By using the advanced mode you can enter multiple conditions into a Filter Array action with an expression.
