Export Sharepoint list to Excel and save in Teams channel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11

I want to build a flow to export a sharepoint list each week and save on Teams. I was able to export into a CSV file but this export has a lot of OData junk and is not structured.

 

Is there a way to export in excel and save in a folder on Teams through Power Automate? 

 

Thank you!

    You can only save to Excel, if you have a pre-existing file in it. You could then dynamically add a sheet and add a Table (which is required to write data to Excel).

     

    So however you are writing to  the CSV, instead loop through your data and use the Add rows to a Table (for excel) and write all your data.

     

    Now since this file has to pre-exist, you would store it somewhere, then make a copy of it IN the location (which is a OneDrive location (as it is the backend for Teams storage).

     

    So, have an excel file

    Make a copy in the ONedrive location that matches your Team Channel

    Loop through your data and write it into the rows of the table on your worksheet

     

    Done.
