Hi All,

 

I have a flow with a loop to scan pdf image, each time will produce a DEL number store in a variable name call "match", existing flow how two function, one is rename the scan file name to DEL Number and then store each DEL number in excel row. However, I found the OCR is not accurate after I add the second function open excel file and store DEL number in row. I though the OCR is capture the window foreground and the excel window although not in the foreground but will be active when each time require to write. 

 

Without the excel function, the flow is working fine and accurate, for increase the accurate and performance, I would like to store all the value (DEL number) to a array variable and save to the excel at the last flow to reduce influence between two function. Is Power Automate Desktop have these feature ? Or how can I use existing function to fulfill my flow? 

 

Is it better if your expertise can post the screen capture for me to describe how to do, because I am a new common user not a programmer.

 

Thank you very much for your help

    Hi @henryhvb5 

     

    - Create a new list variable

    - Whenever you want to add the DEL number pass it to the "Add item" parameter and add it to the List variable as follows

    - Lets say, after finishing your List looks like this

    - Write this list variable to whichever cell you would like to on Excel

    - After writing on cell A1

    While writing make sure you do not overwrite anything that is already written in Excel.
