Power Automate Flow using Excel

Posted on by santoshvdevan

Greetings,

I'm trying to create a flow using an Excel Spreadsheet. The Spreadsheet contains - list of tasks (Task name), start & end date, Bucket name & Bucket owners email address. The flow works pretty fine, but the tasks doesn't get added to the specified bucket(s). Either all tasks gets added to one bucket or it creates it's own bucket and I'm stuck here. Would any help me with this issue so that the tasks gets routed to it's designated bucket.

This is my spreadsheet, the next screenshot is the actual planner with different bucket names.

Thanks for your time in advance!!

Hey @v-peijunz-msft

Hope you're doing well!! Thank you very much for your swift response - you are a life saver!! You broke it down very well for me - I was able to automate the flow without any trouble. I just came across one other issue, the flow isn't recognizing the Start and the Due date. I tried to format the date in the excel and even tried to apply a couple of formulas (please see screenshot below) that was listed online. But the dates doesn't appear in the planner. I'm not sure if I'm missing any step here. Can I request you to shed some light here please.

Thanks again for all your time and support!!

Hey @v-peijunz-msft

I just changed switched the DateTime Format to 'ISO 8601' in the 'advanced options'. The flow works perfectly fine now. Thank you very much for all you support!!

Cheers,
