Preferred method to run through and update a table in excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

I have been working with a few different flows to keep track of data.  In the past I used JavaScript to control this type of work and found it to be pretty straight forward to define an array and use a FOR loop to go through each line along with a nested IF statement to check values and update based on the item I am checking.  It seems to be straight forward in flows using an apply to each function with a condition nested that would update a row based on what is found.  I can tell that the flow runs through the whole table but it does not seem to update the row the way that I anticipate.  

 

This is going to be a common function for me and I am open to any suggestions as to how to better perform this operation.

 

The attached images are the flow that I am trying to run and the table it is connected to.

Thanks for any help!

    I found that by adding a column to the data that i update using an incremental count works well to give a unique value to use to be able to update rows in this method.  I will continue to use this method unless I find a more efficient method.
