Flow to Get Data from Excel Sheets to a Sharepoint List

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hi I trying to build a power automate workflow that will get data from multiple excel sheets once they are uploaded in a teams folder and paste it into a sharepoint list.

I thought it seemed straightforward but it is not working so far. 
 
My first trigger is when a file created or modified in a folder

My second flow is get file content
 
My third flow is list rows present (the excel has been formatted into a table)
 
The fourth step is apply to each where value is selected and then all the columns in the excel table

The fifth is create an item in the sharepoint list and I used dynamic content to map the columns in the excel to the sharepoint list.

I have tried this in many ways but it is still not working. Anything I am missing? Any help?

    Hi

    My first trigger is when a file created or modified in a folder
    --This is correct

    My second flow is get file content
    --I am not sure why you have a second flow, you should grab the data from your Trigger, in your first flow
    --However, you do NOT need to get the file contents at all, since you just want to read the data from the excel sheet(s)/files
     
    My third flow is list rows present (the excel has been formatted into a table)
    -Not sure why you have a third flow, its merely a step as part of #1 (or do you mean steps but keep saying flow?)
    -This is correct though what you need to do
     
    The fourth step is apply to each where value is selected and then all the columns in the excel table
    -Also correct

    The fifth is create an item in the sharepoint list and I used dynamic content to map the columns in the excel to the sharepoint list.
    -Also correct

    I have tried this in many ways but it is still not working. Anything I am missing? Any help?
     
    Everything you wrote is correct, so you need to show exactly what is not working. Show your Flow (dont explain it), and show a Flow Run that failed)
     
    But you did everything correctly (from a steps perspective, so good on that, now lets see whats wrong in your code).
