Update SP list with batch number every 3000 records

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by donnadonut85

Hey,

 

This seems really simple in my head but i cannot work it out. 

 

I want to create a flow to update a column in SP list called BatchNumber. I want the first 3000 records to have 1, the next 3000 to have 2, the next 3000 to have 3 and so on. 

 

Can anyone help with this?

    Dear D,

    • Create a variable called 'Counter3000'.
    • Create a variable called 'BatchNumber' and set it to 3000.
    • Loop through all your records via an 'Apply to each'.
    • Inside the loop, update the record with the variable BatchNumber.
    • Inside the loop, include action 'Increment Counter3000 variable' +1.
    • Inside the loop, include a conditional statement which checks if the Counter3000 = 3000 ... if so, then increment BatchNumber +3000 and reset Counter3000 to 0.
    • Continue...

    Please note that because you are using variables, you cannot run parralel loops which affects your speed.

    You can probably do this without variables as well ... but that becomes a bit more complicated.

     

    Happy flowing,

    Koen
