I have a Flow that is connected to a sharepoint list and adds rows into an Excel table depending on the leave dates entered. As staff may enter multiple leave dates, I want to ensure the table in Excel doesn't contain any duplicates rows.
I need to create a flow that checks the rows in Excel table and identifies duplicates by looking at the Staff Member column and Leave Date column. If a staff member has more than 1 row with the same leave date, I would like PA to delete the earliest row(s) (as the latest row added should be the most accurate) until only 1 row with that date and staff member is left.
I will run this flow as a scheduled trigger every 30 minutes to continually clean the data being entered.
I have had a look online but found nothing in relation to this, only support to do this in Power Query (which I don't want to do). Any support is appreciated or links to resources.
This template allows you to list any columns in the Select input to check for duplicates & you can control which are marked as duplicates based on the sorting you apply to the data.
You will just have to replace the SharePoint actions with Excel actions.
