Copy data between rows in the same table

So here was my issue. I needed to copy some <binary data> from one row in a table to another row. I tried using the SQL Server Managment Studio but it does not allow you to copy and past binary information. Instead I used a UPDATE... FROM SQL statement.

Here is an example:

UPDATE LoadTestRun
SET LoadTest = b. LoadTest
FROM LoadTestRun, LoadTestRun b
WHERE LoadTestRun.LoadTestRunID = 4 AND b.LoadTestRunID = 1

Here is the generic format:

UPDATE table
SET field = b.field
FROM table, table b
WHERE table.PirmaryKeyID = "Copy To ID" AND b.PrimaryKeyID = "Copy From ID"

In this example I demonstrate several ways in which an Excel sheet containing fictitious customer data could be loaded into a SharePoint list. In order to do this I first generated some fake data for my customers using Mockaroo . I then created a new SharePoint list and added some columns to match my spreadsheet. Methods My original plan was to just use the PAD recorder , which I did, but after creating that Flow I decided to find other possible ways to accomplish the task. The list below is not a complete list but should provide some ideas. The flexibility of PAD allows for an even wider range of possibilities for carrying out tasks such as these. At the end of each section I have placed the s...
