Flow for File duplication and Data Extraction

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

I'm seeking guidance on automating a process using Power Automate. Specifically, I'm looking to create a flow where, upon completion of a Microsoft Forms submission, a copy of an existing Excel template is generated and the form data is extracted into this copied file. Can someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to achieve this using Power Automate?

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    Hi @Vikram_Aras ,

     

    Based on your requirement, the flow would be as follows:

    Row contents should be the actual column names on your end in the existing excel table and formatted in JSON.

     

    {
     "column1":"question1",
     "column2":"question2",
     ...
    }

     

     

    Best regards,
