(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 9

Hello, I am trying to build power automate flow when 'PO number' exists in list, then update content if not create record to the list.

Excel file contain some empty date field and I want to power automate to create record with empty field.

to let power automate accept empty field, I used expression

if(empty(triggerOutputs()?['PO_APPROVED_DATE']),null,formatDateTime(triggerOutputs()?['PO_APPROVED_DATE'],'dd/mm/yyyy'))

Flow runs with success (and somehow it repeats run 2 times with all success) but skips whole process with 'If No'

total 1102 record is run but in the sharepoint list, I only see some 800 record and new records are not added...

    Hi @kayo1 ,

     

    It's just the history of the first loop for the first record in Excel table. The condition in Condition control judges whether 1 or more items get from the list, so, for the first record in Excel, it has got at least 1 item (may be 2 because it ran 2 times) so it skipped the false branch. Do you have Update item in Apply to each 2 and Create item in Apply to each 3?

     

    Best regards,

    Hi v-jefferni,

    Thank you for reply... it was filtering function mistake. I only filter by one criteria (with some duplicated number) and I have to select second filtering function (sub number) then problem was solved...
