    Hi @simonpeattie，

    Do you mean update a read-only excel file?

     

    If you want to add a row to a read only excel file, I am afraid there is no direct way to achieve this in Power Automate.

    If you want this feature to be added, you could raise an idea in our idea forum:

    Community (powerautomate.com)
