I cannot get add rows to work with dynamically created Excel file from outlook

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4
I am stumped and Google is uncooperative. 
 
I am trying to add rows to a static Excel master file from a dynamically obtained Excel file from outlook. 
 
I have been unable to append data to the master file.  If I take the dynamic file and pretend it's static in another power automate i can list rows and then append to the master document with add rows. But if the dynamic file is newly created, it will not append to the master file. Flow is as below
 
Trigger-- new email
 
Apply to each
     Get attachment
     Create file
     Create table
     Get table
     List rows from dynamic file
     Parse json - to get column names
     Apply to each
          Add rows to table. -- I'm failing here too append data 
 
 
I believe it has something to do with mapping the columns, but what I'm doing is failing. 
 
Please help

    Yes, MS power automate has green check marks all the way down when tested. 
     
    Yes It is failing to add the rows from the email attachment to the final Excel document.
     
    I'll get you some photos of the flow

    It would help to see the flow please, the pseudo is nice and its accurate per se, but seeing the real thing is what we need. Also you say its fails, what is the error? Or is it running fine but just not outputting anything?
     
    Can you please share so we can see a Flow run (not just the flow) so we can tell you what you are doing incorrectly
     
    Thanks!
