How to get the Previous %CurrentItem%

Hello everyone,

 

I want to set an if condition in a for each loop with the previous currentitem than Power Automate Desktop did read in a Excel sheet.

In order to don't do an unnecessary action, because the data did not change.

 

For instance the if condition would be If currentitem[Colomn Name] <> previouscurrentitem[Colomn Name]

 

Thank in advance

Nicolas

During the loop,

set a variable called prevItem as currentitem[Column Name]

That way you can check If currentitem[Column Name] <> prevItem

Yes @ERKO_TECH_Nicol , you can put it at the end of loop. I just mentioned "during" the loop. So you can put it where it suits your requirement.

Thanks @VJR 

But the variable will be update when its excetuded, so it has to be at the and of the loop, the if condition compare to the previous "Unupdated" Item ?

 

Yes @ERKO_TECH_Nicol , you can put it at the end of loop. I just mentioned "during" the loop. So you can put it where it suits your requirement.

Perfect, Thanks a lot !
