New Row Added Excel Sheet

Posted on by CU10030312-0

I have a sheet in OneDrive for which I want to build a flow and I want the trigger to be something like "when new row" is added to Excel. However, when I look at all the Triggers, there is none available. It works well for my When Form Submit and sends to Sharepoint list, but I want it to work directly all the sheet. Is there a method for when new row is added for Excel? I see absolutely no triggers for this. I see select row, but that will not work as it will require a manually update or time trigger update, I want this to work in as much in real time as possible. Thanks in advance. If there is is no way to do this, this is a major limitations for the Microsoft native apps.

Hi ,

As per the Microsoft Official Documentation there are no triggers for the flow when a row is added or Modified.

The file has to be present in either in SharePoint or OneDrive.

Considering that as requirement the below article will help you in achieving the functionality.

Since direct way of implementation is not possible at this point of time.

I don't think there is such trigger. I think its because its bit different when you create a new row on Sharepoint vs Excel.
When creating new row on Sharepoint you insert all the required info and then create the row. In Excel when you insert new row it creates a blank row so the flow would trigger before any information is added.
Also the trigger would most likely just start when ever you add any data in any blank row so it would easily trigger by accident if user just accidentally added some info and removed it few seconds later.

You add a shape to the excel that works as a button that activates a link that then starts your flow. So you would use HTTP trigger for your flow. The user would press that button after adding all the information needed to the new excel row.

If you don't want user to have to press the button on excel to start the flow then maybe there is a way to create a macro that activates the http flow trigger if certain columns in a new row are filled.
