I have a table sorted by a column value “weight.” Every time the value in the column changes, I want to insert a new record before the record containing the new value along with some text. Possible? |Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4| |id | weight | Product Info | —| | 1| A | Product Text A | | | 2| A | Product Text A| | | 3| B | Product Text B| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4| |id | weight | Product Info | —| | 1| A | Product Text A| | | 2| A | Product Text A| | | 3| A | Newly Inserted Text For Record Change | | | 4| B | Product Text B| | ---

Hi, welcome to the community! If you’re looking to alter a specific step based on changes to the data between runs, you’ll need to save the prior and current data with some database (Excel, Parabola Tables) and use an if-else to compare differences and make action based off of that. To get an answer more specific to your use case, you can email [help@parabola.io](mailto:help@parabola.io) with your flow link and we can help troubleshoot.
