Hello All and thank you to anyone that can help.

 

What I am trying to accomplish is to add a filter to a row of data for a daily spreadsheet(excel file) that is added to Sharepoint folder each day. 

 

I was thinking I could use :"When a file is created in a folder" but can't seem to altar that file that is added.

 

Here's flow

File added

Row 17 of spreadsheet - Data - Filter

Save

 

Thats it. Just apply the filter to that row so users can click the drop down arrow to get to their data.

 

Ideas?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    It's unfortunate that if the Excel file is a new file, there is no way could do it.

    Thank You for the help, I understand that however the file is a new file and new file name EACH DAY - same location.  I want to somehow automatically apply the filter to each new file...

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    I am not quite sure about your requirements. If you want to add a filter query to find the row in Excel table, you could refer to the following screenshot:Annotation 2020-04-28 104944.png
