Adding a Row into a Dynamically Made Excel File

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have a flow where my end goal is to copy an excel sheet from a static excel template which only contains a table as seen below and add a row onto the copied version of the template.

The flow currently has no errors but does not add the value "Test Company" to the company row. Is there a way to access and fill a column in the dynamically made copied excel file?

The flow above differs from writing to an already existing table if I were to write to the template as seen below:

Thanks in Advance

    Hello @Anonymous ,

    I don't know if it'll work, but I'd try a JSON like this:

    {
 "Column": "value"
}

in your situation
{
 "Company": "Test company"
}

    Re: Adding a Row into a Dynamically Made Excel File

    If you can't get the basic Add a row into a table action to work, you can try using Office Scripts, specifically Office Scripts with Power Automate. This is the 'Run Script' action on the Excel connector for Cloud Flows. With Office Scripts you can use the 'Run Script' action to execute javascript against a workbook. So you can create a script that explicitly adds a row with whatever data you want into the table of your choosing. I can help write a starter script for you if you need help with this.
