    Hi @Basileus ,

     

    Do you want to determine the number of times the Create item action needs to be executed based on the value of Z field in ListA?

     

    You could use Flow and Do Until to configure Flow.

    • Initialize the variable of type Integer and use the value of Z field as value of variable. Here you need to convert it using int() function.
    • Determine whether the variable value is greater than 0. If it is greater than 0, execute the following action.
    • Create item action and Decrement variable are configured in Do until, and the loop ends when the value of the variable is 0.

    Flow configuration:

    Please take a try.
