Flow button doesn't appear in Excel

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 136

I'm trying to build a flow that copies certain data from Excel. I created a flow with the trigger "for a selected row", added the file and table I need, but the Flow button doesn't appear in Excel online.

Is there anything else I have to set up for this?

 

Thank you in advance,

Julis

    Hi @julis ,

     

    Update:

    After installing the add in, it appears in my excel web.

    Hi Wearsky,

     

    I'm not using Teams and I don't need to - I'm trying to use Excel online from a browser and trigger a flow from there.

    Thank you so much.

    Does it mean it's not possible from Excel online? The workflow I'm trying to figure out relies on the online version unfortunately.

    Hi @julis ,

     

    Please use excel desktop instead of using excel web.

    And please install the power automate add in before using it.
