Avoid Duplicate Email Alerts if the source field value remains same

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by KD321

Hi,

 

We created an excel file in share point which updates every hour and a power flow based on this excel file which sends emails on a condition. 

 

Example : max value ( field from excel file)  is greater than 1.2.

 

On the first hour run if the max value is 1.3 we get alert email automatically and on the second hour run if the remains same 1.3 it should not send an email again unless the value increases or decreases compared to previous run value. 

 

Help me to setup this condition.

 

Thanks

KD

    Hi @KD321 

     

    The problem here is that you need to access the last row and the row before that to do a comparison.

     

    I think the best way would be to create a duplicated list or table, and update that table only if the added value in the original table is different from the last added in the duplicate table, that way you can make a comparison condition based on the last value and the old value. 

     

    Hope this helps. 

    Kind regards.
