How to email part of an Excel sheet

Using Windows 11 / Power Automate Desktop free version

It's such a simple thing that I've been searching for all day and can't find it.

I want to open Excel, select a range of cells, paste them into the body of an email and send it. This is NOT a table. It's just a range of cells. Manually, I can open excel, highlight the range, ctrl-c go to Outlook, GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, what-ever mail, and paste it into the body. I've tried everything in PAD and can't figure it out.

I would much prefer to use gmail on the web, but Outlook desktop is fine too. I just want to paste it and send.

Can someone please point me in the right direction. It would be great if you could offer to help through some private messaging once I get some insight on how to do this very simple task.
