    Hi @Sunithanalla 

     

    Can you try selecting the excel file by clicking the folder icon and then navigating to the actual file and selecting it in the File option on the excel action? 

     

    Once you select the file, you should be able to select the table from the dropdown in the Table option of the excel action. 

     

    Note that to appropriately read the excel file in Power Automate, the data should be formatted as a table. 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi @Sunithanalla,

     

    Before List rows in an Excel table, you should make sure the table exists in the Excel file, then select the table in the Drop-down.

    If you want to add these data into the Excel file, but the table hasn't been created, you should create a table first.Annotation 2020-04-13 163459.png
