Is there a maximum number of rows with "add a row into a table" of a Share Point File?

 

I keep reading about maximum rows with "get files," but that is not what I am using.

 

Thanks. I am still very new to Power Automate and flows.

    I don't believe there is a limit using Add a row into a table since you would be adding individual rows (potentially within an Apply to each). The issue you would face is how long it would take to add a lot of rows.

     

    Get files and Get items (SharePoint) both return the first 100 items by default. List rows present in a table (Excel) will return the first 256 rows by default. If you wanted to get more rows you have a couple of options.

    • If you know you have less than 5000 rows you can just set the Top Count to 5000 so it will return up to 5000 items.
    • If you may have more than 5000 rows, you would need to go into the Settings of the action and turn on Pagination then set the Threshold to something higher than the number of rows you have - this would then return the rows in batches up to the Threshold. From memory, the max limit for Threshold is 100000.

    How many rows were you looking to add into your Excel Table?

    Hi @Sarah2626 ,

     

    Also consider using office scripts which is very fast and stable.
