Hello, when I receive an email I am trying to get the excel data and turn it into a table onto Sharepoint. This is what I have so far, but I am getting a create table "the argument is invalid or missing or has an incorrect format" error. What is the resolution?
 
Thanks,

    hey
     
     
    what exactly do you want to do? grab that excel table and write the data to a sharepoint list, or create a new excel file on sharepoint from that attachment?
     
     
    cheers

    So, the excel attachment I have from the email isn't in a table. The power automate I am working on is to turn the data in the sheet into a table. It's giving me an error on the create the table part.
