Adding Excel data to SharePoint List and skip items that already exist.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 78

Hello!

So, I have a SharePoint list with some entries. Now I need to add new entries to the SP list from an Excel Sheet (formatted as a Table). This is how I am doing it:

Now the Employee Code column have unique values. 

If my excel sheet has only new rows (which doesn't already exist in the SP list), this flow works fine.

I want to configure it this way that if I have a duplicate value in my excel table (which is already there in the SP list), the flow should just skip it and go to the next.

 

How can I do this? 

 

Thanks in Advance!!

    Hello @ArshUser ,

    In your Apply to each add a Get Items (SharePoint) action and filter items where Employee Code column equals Emp Code value in the loop. Then add a condition and check if any items were returned from the Get Items action. If No, only then Create Item in SharePoint List.
