(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi everybody! I have 2 Excel Spreadsheets.Spreadsheet A and Spreadsheet B. Spreadsheet A has 3 columns: Name, Age and Country. From Spreasheet B only the name is relevant. I want to compare if the Name of a person that is in spreadsheet B also is in Spreadsheet B. And if it is in Spreadsheet B, what is the Age and the Country? I really would appreciate an answer!

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Microsoft flow could only get rows in the table in excel, you could create table with Name, Age and Country column in your excel sheet A and create a table withName column in your excel sheet B, the document about format table in excel as below:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/how-to-excel-tips

     

    Then you could save the excel sheet A and sheet B in your onedrive bussiness and refer to screenshot below to create the flow:

    The length expression in the Condition as below:

    length(body('Filter_array'))

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    @v-alzhan-msft great stuff! Just wanted to ask if what I'm trying to lookup/compare are items not found on spreadsheet A and B (technically if you use vlookup in excel it would give a #NA), would I need to use does not contain in filter array?
