Power Automate Not Opening the Defined Excel File

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello,

I am creating a Flow which takes a table from a website and inputs to an existing Excel file.  The Flow works, but extracts the table into a blank file and not the file I specify in the Flow. Am I missing something?

 

Thank you....

    In order to help you, we'll need to see screenshots of your flow in configuration mode. Hopefully if there's an issue, we'll be able to point it out from that.

    When you make Extract data from web page extract the data directly into an Excel file, there is no way to make it do it into an existing file. It will always put it into a new blank file.

     

    Instead, extract it to a variable and then use Write to Excel worksheet to write the table to wherever you want it.
