Add / modify a row in excel spreadsheet when a sharepoint list is updated

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello, I have a sharepoint list with an associated powerapp that works great. I also have an automated power flow that adds a row or modifies a row in an excel spreadsheet when a change is made to the Sharepoint list. The flow seems to work well for a day or two then it completely breaks. I am not getting any "failed" runs and they all say succeed but during every run, one of 3 things happens:

1) a row is added instead of modified

2) multiple rows are added

3) no rows are added or modified

 

I have screenshots of my flow below. If you can see why this is failing please let me know, I have been trying to figure this out for over a month and cannot find the issue. 

 

the filter array string formula is:

string(triggerOutputs()?['body/ID'])
 
The condition length formula is:
length(body('filter_array'))

 

The excel table has an ID column (obviously) that is the key column used during the condition/filter array. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Phil C.

    Hi @pcole6488 ï¼Œ

    From your screenshot, your flow is fine.
    Do you have other flows that will also affect the excel sheet?

     

     

    Best Regards

    There is not, It is strange because it appears to work for a short amount of time then it goes crazy. Last month it added over 200k rows when it should have only added 190
