Move a file based on a spreadsheet help

Posted on by 2
This seems like it should be an easy thing to put together but everything I've tried seems to result in the flow being unable to find anything, so I'd love to hear any suggestions:
 
I have a .xlsx file in Onedrive with a list of Item Numbers and Lot Numbers. I need to create a flow that pulls that information, looks for files named "Prefix_Item Number_Lot Number.pdf".  If it finds a matching file, I want it to move to a specific folder. There should be 13 matches in my test data, but it's finding 0 files every time.

    Where is the file located ? in OneDrive or SharePoint ?
    Please provide more detail, if you can share your flow screen shot , that's also help.

    Screenshots would definitely help us. I would also recommend writing the filename that you're looking for inside a variable and then debug the flow run to see what the variable value is and make sure the filename is accurate.
