How to add on additional data into another column within For Each loop?

Posted on by foxngn84 95
Hi All,
 
Currently I built a flow by comparing 2 list & get the differences values between it. 
Once I got it, i will need to add in to an existing list. 
But with the different value add-on, i would like to add a on let say column C, for each of the different value. 
I tried to run as such, but it only wrote on the first value.

    It is actually writing for each entry in the list, but in line 38 you're writing a list variable, which automatically populates all values, whereas in line 39 you're writing a single string, which only populates a single cell. Since you always write it to the same row, it just keeps overwriting the previous value, and you only get one cell populated.
     
    My suggestion is to do this:
    1. Move line 38 out of the loop - when writing a list, you don't need to do it in a loop. It's enough to write it once.
    2. Add an Increase variable action inside the loop (like the disabled one in line 40), but keep incrementing %FirstFreeRow2%. This will increase the row index in each iteration, and you'll be able to write the checkbox in a new cell for each item in the list.
