Remove duplicate items from list - Data copied from Excel table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hi,

 

I am trying to fetch data from the excel sheet, add them to a new list and remove duplicates from the list. However, when using the action- "Remove duplicate items from list" the flow is not able to capture or remove the duplicate values from the list created.

Because of this, when I am writing the data present in the list into the excel sheet, the same values are captured (with duplicates).

 

I have followed same instructions as suggested in a similar post- https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/Removing-duplicate-records-in-datatable/td-p/849155

 

Sharing the screenshots for reference. Could anyone please help how to remove the duplicates?

 

Thanks.

    Use the UI elements or send keys to use Excel’s feature to remove Duplicates before importing.
