Hi @Anonymous how are you?

 

@Anonymous I think you can start looking for templates here https://preview.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/ to check if any of them can be used to start your flow.

 

For specific needs I suggest do check the documentation for each one of those connectors listed by you on your requirements.

 

For SharePoint https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/

For SQl Server https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sql/

For conditions https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/add-condition

 

You also can check this post about manually trigger a flow and get the rows on SQL https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Get-single-row-from-SQL-Server/td-p/116363

 

Also this one to get items from SharePoint list item https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Get-Specific-Item-from-a-SharePoint-List-based-on-Value-in/td-p/288906

 

If you have a specific problem or a how to question regarding some action, please create a new topic for this specific question.

 

Please let me know if those references helped on your question.

 

Regards.

I have created the flow and It doesn't take the last row ID's of SQL and sharepoint list. And in filter array the body is not support the specific function of comparing.

 

i will share my screenshot here for your reference and do the changes of my need that i mentioned below. keep correcting my flows of what i did wrong 

 

Needs:

1)Get sql table and  get table last row id

2)get sharepoint list item and get last row id 

3)compare row table id with sharepoint list id if it is equal then do nothing. if table id >(is greater than) sharepoint list id then no of rows to add

4)then have to do a loop for each and get the values of the list from the table  and write the values to the sharepoint list scope: when a new user is added to the table then run the flow to add the new users to the sharepoint list.

 

Please do needful.

Hi @Anonymous thanks for the update and details shared.

 

I think you can use this sample to add on your flow.

 

First, to get the last item on table I used the options to filter and order by the id attribute. on this sample only the recod with id 4 will be returned.

 

2020-07-02-001.jpg

 

In SharePoint you do not have the option to inform the same ID for the ID default attribute. So you need to reate your own identification attribute. Like my sample and how to get the last one in Power Automate:

 

2020-07-02-002.jpg

 

So the first block of the Flow will be:

 

2020-07-02-003.jpg

 

After that I added a condition to check if the SharePoint is empty, if yes, create the item on the list. If not, I compare the id from table and the identification of the record on SharePoint. If different , create the item on SharePoint

Let me know if this helped on your question.

yes, Its very useful for me.

 

But in my case  i dont have ID for table. So i need to figure out how to get the number of rows in the table and compare to the number of rows in the sharepoint list, if different then do something. But SQL  takes Full count upto maximum 512 only. i need only last row to compare. From this how could i take the last row Number. Is this possible?

 

So instead of taking ID's i have recreate the flow to take count of the rows in table with Sharepoint list. I am Doing right? Whether this flow works out.

Hi @Anonymous how are you?

 

To get the total rows from table and also from SharePoint list you can use a expression after get all records like this:

 

2020-07-03-001.jpg

 

Please let me know if I can help you in something else. If this answered your question, please, mark this topic as answered.

Hai, 

Hope you are fine. Your last post helped me lot. Thanks for that.

 

1)Now i have a new flow by counting number of rows in SQL and SharePoint list.

2)Then need to check the SQL Row values is equal to Sharepoint list. If value count is Equal dont do anything.

3)If Value count of SQL Table is greater than Sharepoint list Count means need to add = (SQL Table - Sharepoint List) those items by  do a loop for each and get the values of the list from the table to sharepoint list from SQL Table.

 

Check my flow. Whether it work out for my points mentioned above. please do help.

Hi @Anonymous I'm fine thanks.

 

I think you can now add a foreach to the SharePoint list and create the ones that you need. 

 

Please check this item that shows the foreach and the create item https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Flows/foreach-loop-through-a-list-and-move-each-item-to-another-list/td-p/377267

Hi  @Anonymous , thanks for the response.

I do not understand your doubt now. Are you having issues with those actions?

Maybe a support ticket is a better path to address and help you to end this workflow.

If so, please open a service request at https://preview.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/support/ at 'Ask for Help' - 'Contact Suport'

That way we can contact you and do a remote session if needed.
