Update SharePoint List based on Excel Spreadsheet

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I have a SharePoint List that has columns "Project" & "Due", and an excel spreadsheet with the same columns.  Currently, the List has two rows, and the spreadsheet has 8 rows.  The projects in the List are contained in the spreadsheet, but not in the same order.  Ultimately, I will have a lot more columns in the Excel spreadsheet and the SharePoint list, and they won't be the same (but will have project and due in both files).  I will also eventually have more rows (projects).  

 

I'm trying to come up with a Flow that will update the due (dates) for each project.  I have a flow, it runs, but updates the "due" column in the List with the "due" date of the last row of the Excel file instead of the row that corresponds to the project.  

 

The flow is manually triggered.  

 

"List rows present in a table" - nothing specified beyond the file/table information

"Get items" from SharePoint list - nothing specified beyond the List name/location

 

Apply to each

Output from previous steps:  Value (Excel)

 

Nested Apply to Each

Output from previous steps:  Value (SharePoint)

 

Filter array (under nested Apply to Each)

From: Value (SharePoint)

Project (Excel) is equal to Project (SharePoint)

 

Update Item (also under nested Apply to Each)

ID:  ID (SharePoint)

Title:  Title (SharePoint)

Project:  Project (SharePoint)

Due:  Due (Excel)

    Hi @purpleangelbear ,

    I did a test for your reference.

    In my scenario

    My excel Table:

    My SharePoint List:

    vyetonggumsft_0-1711416599704.png

    My Flow:

    vyetonggumsft_2-1711416717070.png

    Pay attention to the nesting of loops, and don't nest them in the wrong place.

    length(outputs('Get_items')?['body/value'])

    Best Regards,

    Can you please post a screenshot of your flow?

    This worked almost perfectly.  The projects are in text format in both Excel and SharePoint, but contain numbers.  One leads off with a 0.  It works perfectly for all the projects except that one.  Any thought on how to modify the flow to account for that?  Otherwise, I'll just update that one record manually.
