Posted on by 8

My flow is populating an excel table by first adding rows and then updating, In some cases the trigger of the flow requires a new column to be added to the excel table. That I can do, but I then also like to populate this new key column in the same flow, for the row which is being updated.

 

is that possible

    Hi @SimonH,

     

    Which trigger are you using?

    Do you want to create then update the row with the new column added?

    I am not sure with your scenario, please share more details for better understanding.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel

    It's basically a webhooks which collects a nested JSONs for items. I'm recording the items in a table which will act as a report

    I want to first add a row to the table with fixed data. But the provided JSON may require me to add an additional column to the row, which I then would like to add a value to in the current row.

    So in my flow I would create avalue to act as a key column, check if that key value exists. If not, add the key column to the table and then add the value into this column in the current row.
