I have an old Sharepoint List and need to ovewrite the old Store_Name. I'm struggling to find an example in my searches.

In my current flow I can manually update the stores 1 at a time. Changing the value manually each time.

It's like I need 2 get items, one for old and one for new. Then seems like I need to lookup in New List if it exists then replace the old value

I have the same question (0)

    You need a loop within a loop to do what you want. First loop round the new list and within that loop, loop around the old list.

     

    Picture will explain it better:

    If you get stuck, I will just export the flow I made and you can adjust it to your requirements.

    @Paulie78 Perfect....
    I'm learning and would like to ask a few questions about your solution or General Flow.


    Looks like you stored the StoreNumbers into a compose... I guess that's just an array of 1 value.

     

    Looks like you have an "Apply Each" inside an "Apply Each". Prior to your answer I was working my own solution and I had an "Do while" inside an "Apply Each" . I'm guessing now that an "Apply Each" is just a traditional Do loop (The word Apply was throwing me off)
