in sr no 4 invoice no is 71 and status is failed
in sr no 5 invoice no is 71 and status is failed it should change to failed
same for sr no 6 invoice number is 74 and status is failed to
from sr no 7 to 11 status should change as failed

Example solution

1. read excel

2. create list of unique invoice numbers
   

   

3. create a dictionary.
   a) Then for each unique invoice, check if the table contains a row with that invoice where status = fail,
   b) if a row is found, then add entry to dictionary where key = invoice, value = fail,
   c) otherwise add entry where key = invoice, value = success
   

4. update datatable with new values from dictionary
   

5. write new dt to excel
   

result
(left = original excel, right = result excel)

an alternative method using LINQ and Lambda expressions

Step 1/ get InvoiceNr of records with failed status
Step 2/ update source DT
