    HI @Anonymous 

     

    If you are trying to add a row in the Excel, add it as a datasource and then you can use the Patch formula on the "OnSelect" property of your button control:
     
    Patch(DataSourceName,Defaults(DataSourceName),{Field1: "Value1",Field2:"Value2"})
     
    For more information about Patch, please refer:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-patch
     
    If this differs from what you are looking for, please share more details about the scenario, maybe through some snippets/screenshots.
     
    Hope this Helps!

    Hi @Anonymous 

    PowerApps doesn't fully support the 'Excel Business Online' connector.

    For Excel documents that are stored in OneDrive for Business/SharePoint, the workaround is to use Microsoft Flow.

    If it isn't possible for you to use Flow and it's a requirement for you to use Excel, the only other option is to save your Excel file to a personal OneDrive account/Google drive/Dropbox account, connect to the data source in PowerApps, and to use the Patch function as @yashag2255 describes.

    You can find a bit more detail in the thread here...
