Append to Array taking too long compared to Add row into excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sam24 2

I am building a flow and in it the append to array is taking too long even though it's a simple operation. If I am replacing append to array with add row into table, then it is completing faster. The actual append action is taking 0 seconds, but the whole apply to each is taking 5 minutes somehow.

    And what is your question?

    That why is it taking 5 minutes? Shouldn't it be faster since the loop is only of 20 items and the sub items take zero seconds to complete.

    I don't know why, sorry.

    If you publish the whole flow, I'll try to speed it up.
