Create a new element in a lookup column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Andrea2000 36
Hello there!
I've created a flow that copies a row from Excel to a SharePoint list. The flow works well, but there's a problem with a lookup column - its value isn't being copied.
I'm using this expression: item()?['ID_corso id'].
How can I properly copy the excel's value to the SharePoint list's column?
Thank you!

    When you are updating a lookup column in SharePoint, you will need to supply the ID of the lookup value that is in a separate list.
     
    To do that, first you will need to run a get item action to get the lookup item.
    And then update the actual item's lookup column using update action and the dynamic content from previous action.
