Repeatable Control duplicates data in table

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hey there. I trying to build a flow which updates the table of word documents. For that I created a word document with a table and an repeatable control. Then I pass some data to the RepControl in 'Populate a Microsoft Word template'.

After this step I 'Update File' which has the content of 'Populate a Microsoft Word template'.

Now my problem is that the data gets duplicated.

But I actually want to update the table so there are no duplicates.

Is there any possiblity to achieve this?

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share screenshots of your Flow configuration?

I guess the duplicate data is caused by the error input in the variable, you can refer to this blog:

In that blog they create a new file. I want to update a file.
I first created a file -> That filled the table with 3 rows of Data.
Then I update this very same file. The new data is appended to the table which has the 3 rows of data hence the duplicate. What I kinda want to achieve is that the table gets overwritten with the new data.

Hi, have you managed this? I have exactly the same problem. I want to update earlier populated file and I get the same result - additional values instead of updated values.

I had the same issue, I just deleted the table and created again. That solved the issue.
