How to update an excel row if a condition is met and add an excel row if a condition is not met

Hello all,

I am trying to build a flow that updates an Excel row when the "quote number" field in an Excel spreadsheet on SharePoint is blank, and adds a row when it is not blank.

If I set the "Condition" as shown below, the row will be updated or added regardless of whether the quote number field is blank or not.

In the case of condition A: empty(triggerOutputs()?['Quote Request Number']
The row will be updated whether the quote number field is blank or not.

In the case of condition B: empty(outputs('Substring quote request number')?['body'])
The row will be added whether the quote number field is blank or not.

Could you please tell me if there is a solution?
Thank you in advance.

condition A: empty(triggerOutputs()?['Quote Request Number']

The row will be updated whether the quote number field is blank or not.

condition B: empty(outputs('Substring quote request number')?['body'])

The row will be added whether the quote number field is blank or not.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I apologize if my explanation was difficult to understand.

The problem was that even though I set conditions, the rows in Excel were updated or new rows were added regardless of the conditions.

I solved the above issue myself.

I added "Get Rows" above "Conditions" and re-set the "Conditions", and the following flow was successful.

-If the quote number is blank, update the row in Excel.
-If the quote number is not blank, add a new row to Excel.
