Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a list from Excel uploaded to SharePoint. The problem is that a lot of fields are missing. I'm trying to make a flow that parses each entry and get info to update missing data but it's not working. 

I have a list of employees with Number, Title and Department missing some data. How can I have power automate get value in column email and getuserprofile to populate the missing data.

  • Manually trigger flow
  • Get SharePoint list
  • Parse emails from each entry
  • Update columns Number, Title and Department

 

Please help

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Do you want to update employee's information according to email?

    I set up a simple flow, you can take a try with the following screenshots to see if it helps.

    Assume I have a employee list, I will update the employee's information according to their emails.

    After flow runs, my list will be update like this:
