Hello 
My Flow is getting a folder with documents from OneDrive and creates the same files in a Document Library in SharePoint.This works fine, but I want to update all the files with metadata (after the file is created).
The metadata comes from a table in excel. The table looks like this:
There is as many rows as files. So every row is data which belongs to a document.
My library:
It seems like my flow updates every document with every row, which is not what I want, so something is wrong in my logic.
Appreciate any answers and thoughts

Hi @dogemaster ,
Do you have a unique identifier to update the metadata of a particular file in your excel sheet? If so, please check the screenshot below and replicate the steps:
What I am doing here is -> List the files from onedrive and create an apply to each loop with the list of these files. Now, get a row from excel sheet (this row should have a unique identifer with respect to the current file. I have considered the DisplayName of the file. So you should have a column of display name in your excel with the names of all your docs/files with the corresponding meta data). Now you create the file, get the properteies and simply update the metadata with the excel row values rspectively.
Hope this Helps!
