Good morning,

 

I am new, and am looking for a way to update a SharePoint lists column "IsFirstOccurrence" whenever a a text repeated in column "bay"

 

attached screenshot is an example which is manually done. Looking for a way to automate it.

    Hi @Shikaka ,

     

    The 'order by' parameter expects column name rather than column value.

    So please use 'ID' rather than '321'.

     

    Best Regards,
