Hi all,

 

I have a requirement in which the user wants to add an Excel file from the desktop to the power app and upload the data to an SQL table without the use of SharePoint or OneDrive.

 

Thanks

    Hello @SayanDGupta 

     

    In my experience, there is no direct process yet as there should be a temporary space to hold the data.

     

     

    In your Power Automate Flow, you can store the file in SharePoint

     

    High level process in Power Automate would be:

    1. Store File in SharePoint (If you use power apps, you can use form to store this)

    2. Extract the data from file to something you loop in Power Automate.

    3. Store Data in SQL

    4. Delete File from SharePoint

     

    If this is something that you is not right for your requirement, you might want to look at Excel to SQL directly.
