Excel Update Row + OneDrive File Copy - Loses updates

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi to all. I'm new to Power Automate, and maybe I'm missing something.

I was just messing around to learn using the tools. So I made a very very very simple flow:

1: Update a row in an Excel file

2: Copy the file to a newfile

 

In the first version there was also a "reset" step of the original value of the row in the original file.

So this is the flow:

The outputs are just to get this thing "dynamical" by adding a step on top to get a series of values and looping on it. But that's another story 🙂

 

So the problem is: onece the flow is completed, the new file has the original value in the "CHIAVE" row.

Let's say this are the values:

And this is the initial state of the table:

What I'm supposed to obtain is the "TESTDINAMICO_DYNA.XLSX" with the "CASUALE123" value in the CHIAVE row. But instead also the TESTDINAMICO_DYNA.XLSX has the value "VALORECHIAVE".

It's like if the OneDrive step executes the copy BEFORE the completion of the Excel step... or taking a not updated versione of the file.

I'm missing something, but I can't figure it out what.

Maybe some setting in the update row step? Or some kind of requirement to be defined in the flow? 

 

Thanks very much if you can help me 🙂
