Listing multiple excel files in folder from one drive for business to update the data in share point list

Posted on by Sivaperumal31

Hello,

I have created the workflow to read a single file from OneDrive for business and update the data in Share Point list.

I am enhancing the same to read multiple files from the same folder of one drive (All file with same structure and columns , only the data is different).

So added the below steps in my flow to do the same, But it fails when listing the files in the folder. Can you please advise what I am doing wrong here.

It throws an error "No table was found with the name 'Table1'. But the table is present in the file its reading. And there is only one file in the folder now for testing. The loop fails in very first iteration itself.

Note : When I read the same file directly without list files in folder steps- it works perfect and Table1 is recognized in the flow .

Thank you.

Thank you @v-liwei-msft , That did the magic.

Can I also ask another question?
How Can I mark the file if its already read and updated in share point list, So that it wont be picked up later when I run the flow again after adding the new file in folder?

In case of SharePoint library, I shall add the column for updating the status of file and control the flow to pick up only the new files based on status, I am not sure how I can do the same for files in OneDrive for business.
