Hi @mwd86

Thank you so much for this quick reply.
Like In source lib I have 2 columns 1st is path1 and 2nd is path2.
For 1st file path1 value is MP_Folder and path2 value is MX_Folder.
then this will should move to MP_Folder/MX_Folder destination.

Did you get my point now?

just put here at the destination folder the path1 and the path2 together like this.
before this you have to write e.g. C:\this\is\an\example\path\%path1%\%path2%

so is it possible?
in lib2 we have column col1 col2 col3
col1 value is xyz1 and col2 value is xyz2 and need to find col3 value
then will go for destination path where I need to move file

Please send a screenshot of your metadata. Do you already have this metadata in powerautomate?
