HI,

 

I have a flow below that adds some data from a table inside an excel file sent from an external company to save employee time, the flow works great and adds new records as required, however because there are a few people using these files and flows sometimes the flow will be pressed twice and duplicates will occur.

 

i would like to modify my flow below to check the unique ID column in the excel file and check against the same unique id column in a Sharepoint before adding so duplicates do not happen

 

(im aware i can add unique values check in SharePoint however i desire to do this in excel)

 

My flow
