Hi,

 

The goal here is just to create a copy of an excel file at SharePoint using Power Automate: The Excel file has no tables. Mostly Text, number and dynamic formulas. (so tables built is dynamic)

Text is in Norwegian bet the option selcetd is automate and a flow I made. The flow is from the template library "Complete a custom action for the selected file".

 

The flow: 

create worksheet.PNG

 

Is it possible to build a flow that copy the file. If yes, what is the trick?

 

Best regards

- Geir

    Hi @ProCloudNorAs ,

     

    You could add a field to allow the user to specify the path where they would like to copy to when they select a file and run the flow.

     

    You can also use the Copy File action and pass the field as the destination
