Hello,
I'm struggling a little bit with a use case. I want to register in a excel table in my sharepoint each choice of the user plus his user ID and full name.
I have a PVA bot, where the user basically will be asked 3 questions and will be proposed for the first two questions (Question 1 &2) entity extraction and for the last one the entire answer. Here is a sample of action for the user :
here is my excel table file
So the user IVAN talks, i get his ID and register in the collumn 2A, his name in 2B ... user MIKE talks and i complete the 3 row, etc etc
I tried several flows, but none of them is working. can please someone help me showing me step by step how can i can work it?
P.S. I have already set up the authentification in the bot
Thank you !
Hi @EmilB ,
Great to know it!!! 🙂
Regarding your question, today, it's possible but only two properties inside the phrase.
We already talked about it here: Solved: Multiple entities in the same question - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
@renatoromao , thank you very much, it helped me a lot. I took your example and added many other elements in the excel table and its working nicely.
I was wondering, this example is working as this "Bot asks, user answers then using power automate I register the answers in SharePoint" so I can easily now fill the excel file". However, is it possible to fill excel file if the user writes one single sentence "I want to do Action X, with consequence Y " or " i want to create condition 1 with name Condition1 . So the bot/powerautomate will extract key elements and fill the excel file :
Like this I don’t have ask many questions, but I will just train the bot.
Hi @EmilB ,
IF you want, you can import my solution into your environment or create your workflow manually. 🙂

(solution attached here)
How to implement this integration? Basically is Power Virtual Agents + Power Automate + Excel + SharePoint.
Follow the steps below:
(FIRST OF ALL, CREATE YOUR EXCEL TEMPLATE, CREATE A TABLE WITH COLUMNS AND ROWS, STORE THIS EXCEL FILE INTO YOUR SHAREPOINT SITE)
1- Create your PVA action with the inputs that you want. I create 5 text inputs (UserId, UserName, Question1, Question2, Question3)
2- Create an action called "Add a row into a table" using the Excel Online (Business) connector.
Insert all parameters inside this action above:
- Location: Select your SharePoint (Group) name
- Document Library: Select your library inside your SharePoint site
- File: Select your file
- You will see all columns inside your Excel table, just select on the Dynamic content the value from
3- Insert a response to Power Virtual Agents
If you need support to create this action, you can see this video: (2) Add actions using Power Automate to a Power Virtual Agents bot - YouTube
i'm using the PVA for Online.
Thank you very much for your help
Hi @EmilB ,
Do you are using the PVA for online or PVA for Teams?
I will create now a simple example for you, and I'll send here in a couple of minutes.
