Limiting the number of rows I add to a Google sheet

Hello everyone,

I would love your help in working on one automation.

Basically what I’m trying to do is this: I am using Apify, to get some reviews from Google My Business. Using a router, I am divinding the ones that have 5 stars, from the ones that have less than five stars.

Then, I add them all to a Google sheet.

Thing is I would like to limit the number of reviews that have 5 stars that I add to the Google sheet to 10, as not to have a lot of results in my final worksheet.

I have tried a lot of solutions but none of them work.

I sense it’s fairly easy to do, but since I am a novice in this field I’m having a lot of difficulties.

How would you go about it?

Thanks for your kind help

Hi @Elio1,

Here’s a high level approach. Create a variable titled “5-Star Review Count” every time the router for 5 Star reviews is utilized append +1 to the count. Create a conditional that checks if the “5-Star Review Count” is less than 11 to continue running.

Please let me know if you’d like more detail but I hope this approach helps guide your development!

Hi @Elio1 Welcome to the community.

If you want to just limit max rows going inside google sheet, before create a row module, create a filter with “Bundle order Position” - “Less than or Equal to” - “10”. This way you will only get first 10 results in the sheet and rest of them will be skipped.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need more help!

Best,

Hi Guys,

thanks a lot for your answer!

@ Prem_Patel I already tried that and it didn’t work, because, with the configuration I have now, I get several different bundles and each one of them is in position 1, so the filter allows them all

@ Trainward_Consulting Thanks for your solution. I tried several ways and I brought in Chatgpt and Gemini (which didn’t help at all) but couldn’t get it to work. Could you please elaborate more? I am not very experienced using Make so I don’t know how to do what you are proposing.

Thanks again for your help

@Elio1 Please share your full scenario configuration, output from module and mappings you have done using screenshots. This will help us in sharing more helpful solution for you.

Hi Prem Patel,

you’re very kind.

I actually went on with this scenario creation and (kind of) found a workaround for this issue (which is not a workaround at all because I just get less reviews, and for the moment I left it at that).

I tried again setting up the scenario where I could get the bundle order position but at the moment I don’t really know how to replicate the error.

So, for now, I will leave it at that and I will reopen this thread in case I will add more questions.

Regardless, I really appreciate you guys helping me with this I really appreciate it😊

Thanks
