Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all, 

I am trying to read excel file (containing ID and email address and other info) from network drive when the file is created/modified, after reading file I would like to send email to the respective email address with the user ID and PIN. However, I am stuck in action called "List row present in table" where it ask the input Document Library. The same process works fine when file is on One drive though. I saw document library only supports SharePoint, one drive or outlook365. Is there any way I can fix this. All the help are appreciated.

    Hello,

     

    In reviewing your post I understand you are trying to use the “List rows in a table” action to supply you a list of items from an excel file on a local network drive.

     

    Unfortunately, this is not supported. The Excel Online (Business) connector only lets you work with Excel files in document libraries supported by Microsoft Graph such as: OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Sites, and Office 365 Groups.

     

    Here’s a link to provide you some guidance on the use of the Excel Online (Business) connector:

    Hopefully this helps! 😊
