How to use Update a Row in Excel, when the Key Value is blank

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 80

Hello 

I am building a flow to update a row in excel but I need it to update blank fields within the column, and power automate does not allow me to leave the Key Value as blank. I was wondering what expression I could use to update the blank spaces in a specific column

    Hi @KDV ,

     

    First, flow expects a record which needs to be updated.

    So, the key column is important.

    Thank you for replaying! I have a key column but I dont have a key value, so im looking for a way to have the key value be 'If Empty"

    Hi @KDV ,

     

    How many records do you have that the key column have no value?

    If you have multiple such records, what is the logic? Update all records or update the first one?

    Yes all the records for that column. some backround we receive this report from a vendor and to input it into or system the file needs to be formatted a specific way and im trying to have the flow complete the formatting once the email comes in
