Update row in Excel - Calendar to Excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

I'm in the process of building a flow for holiday updates where flow creates an Outlook event from an Excel spreadsheet. I then want to update the rows in the same spreadsheet so that any rows that have 'No' in one of the columns are changed to 'Yes' so that it doesn't duplicate the calendar entries. 

I can get the flow to only add the calendar events that have 'No' in the correct column, but then I can't get the rows to update within the Excel sheet. I've tried this by keeping the cell empty rather than 'No' but it still doesn't update. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong? Current flow is below.

    I added a delay to the end and it's still not changed the row from No to Yes unfortunately.

    Now coming to another part. Excel takes little time to update column you can use delay after update row action. use delay of about 2 min and then check.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @Hardesh15 

     

    Thanks very much for your response. I've tried your answer and changed the Key Value to Yes, rather than a dynamic value but it still doesn't update any rows in the Excel file. Looking at the output it seems to be bypassing any rows that have No in the Event column and just finishing the flow when it finds a Yes.

     

    Thanks.

    In update a row action- put 'Yes' in key value. you are supplying same value from previous step as No. by selecting dynamic content.
