Update a row with condition

Posted on 13 Oct 2023 07:27:43 by LoDurbano 38

Hello,

 

could you please help me to find a solution for my flow?

 

I'm trying to update a row with validation. So if a specific row return a specific value, it must be changed by another.

 

first step condition: check on each cell of Status column if it's Resolved (data validation list in Excel)

if yes: change the status to Closed for each one:

but not working, flow failed.

 

Thanks!

    Thanks a lot @v-xiaochen-msft!

    i tried with a new small table and it's working fine. 

    With mine, i have same errors. So i create new one with same columns.

    error is :

    Some cells changed. Maybe there is a limit for the flow?

    My table contains 50 rows.

     

    Thanks,

    Hi @LoDurbano ,

     

    I test it in my side , the issue is in the "key Column" and "key Value" in your "Update a row" action.We can't use Status as our key column, we need to find an ID column with a unique row as our key column here, so that Power Automate can know which row to modify.

    This is my test table:

    vxiaochenmsft_0-1697183722169.png

     

    So i configure the  "Update a row" like this:

    vxiaochenmsft_1-1697183722172.png

     

    Then we can run this flow successfully. The result is as follows:

    vxiaochenmsft_2-1697183722172.png

     

    vxiaochenmsft_3-1697183722173.png

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky
