Not all Excel imported rows load into SQL Server

Posted on 13 Jul 2022 23:14:21 by 23

I have a workflow that runs for 6 mins and does not error out, but also does not load all 3303 rows. It stops loading at row 256.  Is there a log file that I can review to see why it fails to load all possible rows?  The workflow is loading only one table.  I noticed that some varchar cols are being loaded with blanks and others are loaded with nulls. Some columns are being loaded with all nulls, but should have values.  I would love to see the logs on this load process, if they exist.

    Ok @AaronO ,

    which Power Automate do you have?

    Cause, for “Low” performance profile, the limit is 5000 as below:

    Unfortunately, when I try that I receive an error and the flow does not save.

     

    "Flow save failed with code 'InvalidPaginationPolicy' and message 'The pagination policy of workflow run action 'List_rows_present_in_a_table' of type 'OpenApiConnection' at line '1' and column '1582' is not valid. The value specified for property 'minimumItemsCount' exceeds the maximum allowed. Actual: '10000'. Maximum: '5000'.'."

    @AaronO ,

    you can put a number > 5000 in the Pagination settings.

     

    Inside e flow for a project that I’m managing, I’m grabbing 8000 rows.

    What if you need to go over 5000?

    Hello @KennyTheFarmer ,

    by default you can retrieve only 256 rows. If you want to retrieve more than 256, click on the 3 dots and select "Settings", then enable the "Pagination" function and put the max number of rows you want to get.
