Hi Guys,

I have an Excel spreadsheet that has set cells that need filling out in order to calculate some earnings. Till now, we have been doing it manually, but with the use of Dynamics, we created specific rows where we would input the numbers that basically:

1. The flow needs to take those numerical fields from Dynamics/Dataverse

2. Copy them into specific cells in an Excel workbook.

I am not sure exactly now to tell Power Automate to copy that data into a specific cell, rather than add or modify a row.

Please see the screenshot as to what the input table looks like.

Hi @phoenix_cluster

The native actions in Power Automate require access to a table in order to write data to an Excel File. However, using Office Scripts, you can write data to specific cells by writing scripts. Scripts can be recorded, so whilst the feature is not necessarily low code, it is relatively easy to get up and running with simple concepts. Please take a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7GLQnvJJF0 or read more about Office Scripts here Introduction to Office Scripts in Excel (microsoft.com).

Thanks for this. I did not know about this Excel Scripts and Power Platform interface so it really helps knowing I can be a lot more flexible with internal Excel scripts.
