Hi, I am stuck in here for a day now thinking about this. Hope someone can help.

 

I have a basic flow that will read an (Excel File) and get every Column Data and add it to Sharepoint List.

 

While it reads every other Data inside the Excel. Unfortunately, it doesn't return any data when it comes to the Date/Time Column

    It causes that special character available on the excel column name(Date/Time). Include the below expression to resolve it.

    items('Apply_to_each')?['Date/Time']

     

    Let me know if this works for you.

     

    Ensure that the DateTime format adheres to ISO 8601 to obtain the proper format on SharePoint.
