Having trouble creating table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 34

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

What is the proper way of using the action create table?

The name of my sheet is Activity Reports - Invoices and the range is A2:AI

 

What is the proper way of writing this?

 

When I tried to write it as 'Activity Report - Invoices'!A2:AI I got the following error:

The argument is invalid or missing or has an incorrect format.

    Hi @jfcricardo 

     

    To create a table using "Create table" action of excel connector, pls check the below screenshot:

    We don't need to pass the sheet name, just pass the table name, cell range and column names.

     

    The Output obtained after executing the above action:

    Unfortunately my file has multiple sheets. That's why I was trying to use the sheet name.

    Hi @jfcricardo 

     

    In that case, pls pass the sheet name with the cell range in 'Table range' parameter. Here it the syntax:

    'Activity Reports - Invoices'!A1:A2

    Thanks for the help. Apparently this was happening because I wasn't defining the number part of one of the cells.

    I ended up finding this to have a dynamic range.

    =OFFSET('Activity Reports - Invoices'!A1, 0, 0, SUBTOTAL(103, 'Activity Reports - Invoices'!$A:$A), 35)

    Hi, I have the same problem.

     

    I am getting the same error message:

     

    Here is my flow:

    Create Worksheet > Create Table, I need to create the table then add rows on the created worksheet from the previous step.
