Check if Excel File is update once a week

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by joshua1990 8

Hello everyone!

I have built a report in Power BI that shows Sales vs Budget on a weekly basis.

The Sales are facts out of our ERP System.

The Budget is stored within an Excel-Sheet that is updated once every week for every department - stored in Sharepoint.

The structure is like this:

Year-WeekDepartmentBudget
2021-01A500

 

Now I would like to check on a Tuesday somehow if every department has added the budget for the actual week.

Is this possible using Power Automate?

If so, how?

 

Best Regards

    If your Excel data is formatted as a Table, you can use the List Rows in a Table action (with a recurrence of Tuesdays) and then filter that array for the current week (initialize a variable to get the current week in same format as your table) and where the budget column is blank (or not blank).  The length of the filtered array would tell you if all departments have entered a value or not.

     

    Alternatively, you could just write a DAX measure in your Power BI report (if it refreshes daily or at least on Tuesdays) that show in a card if there are any blank rows for the current week in the budget table.

     

    Regards,

    Pat
