Using Power Automate to get file contents from excel worksheet

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

hi , i am trying to get file contents of desired excel worksheet from excel file and i want to create a new excel file using collected file content in another location ( sharepoint library).  

i am able to get the desired excel worksheet id and name. from there i would like to retrieve the file contents but i am not able to find any option to retrieve. 

 

P.S : i cannot use excel get rows function since my data is not in table format and i could not run scrip to make a table since it will destroy design requirements and formulas.

    @thihan27 Can you not use the Copy action in SharePoint to copy the file itself instead of copying the contents?

    If you want to copy a subset of the data, convert your excel to a CSV. You can build the formulas in power automate if needed.

    hi @AlexEncodian thanks for the solution but unfortunately i do no think my company would like to spend on subscription for one flow only.
