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 ,

     

    Please use excel desktop instead of using excel web.

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

    See-https://manueltgomes.com/microsoft/powerautomate/how-to-install-the-add-in-in-excel/

     

    Best Regards,

    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 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.

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