Hi @ranaprathap928

Can u try this idea

  1. Like put a Status column in the excel record to check whether a row of data has been processed or not

If it processed then put the status as complete or not put New there

So at beginning of workflow use filter datatable to filter out the datatable only having status as New only so that it process data only which are left as unprocessed

I am recommending here two states one is New and other is Complete which is to be put when Data has been processed correctly

Hope it helps you

Mark it as solution if you got it

Hi @ranaprathap928l

Put the workflow in while loop with condition as True , under while loop put that workflow in try section of try catch activity , in catch section put continue activitiy so that if any error occur it will start from workflow again

This is a optional but u can try it if needed

Also u can put a retry limit if needed by setting a counter in while loop condition so that it stops after some retries like if exception occurs counter value increment by 1 so that when it reaches a limit it exits out of loop and stop it

sure @NIVED_NAMBIAR i will try this

In the try section put the workflow according to which I had told in my first reply by putting status column too so that it can try from latest processed record or row

Hi @ranaprathap928,

You can use retry scope for that section which fails and you wanna run again.

use element exists/ true condition which when achieved exits from the retry and continue with the flow.
