POWER AUTOMATE - When I import records, my Flow runs in parallel to another

Posted on by 1,258

I have a scenario, where I'm importing data to a table that is dependent to each other. 

Example in one file: 

  1. Record A is Imported > A Class 1: Qty=1 record has been created afterwards.
  2. Record AA is Imported > The Class 1: Qty=1 should be updated to Class 1: Qty=2; 
  3. Record AB is Imported > The Class 1: Qty=2 should be updated to Class 1: Qty=3; 
  4. Record B is Imported > The Class 2: Qty=1 will be created. 

In my case, I observed that when the import file are being uploaded, the records that are being created is being created at once/at the same time. Thus, my Flow is giving me a wrong output. What can I do?

    I found a fix. Turning off the Concurrency processed each record one at a time. Thanks for helping out!

    Hi,

    Am I to understand that you want several executions of a flow to be staggered rather than simultaneous?
