It is failing at if condition where I am checking with concatstring contains currentitems.

 

This step I am checking to see if we have any duplicates. 

Please assist if there is any other way to find duplicates in an excel sheet.

    concatstring is a list, so probably not compatible with "contains" and a data row 😉

    @fraenK  I used two variables one with set variable "concactstring" and other with a list "concatstring".

     

    If condition is failing when I change for both the conditions

     

    If Concactstring(variable) contains Current item

    If Concactstring(list) contains currentitems

    Sure, because CurrentItem is a data row. A string can't contain a data row.

    @fraenK  I created a new data table variable and is working.

    Thank you for the inputs
