Child Flow omits newly-added Excel rows

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 13

Hi there,

Within the same Solution I have created and connected a parent flow (PF) and a child flow (CF). Once per week, the PF reads a bunch of Outlook mails and creates one row for each of them in an Excel table in the SharePoint of my business. Then, the CF should sum ALL rows of a certain column from the Excel table.

My problem is that the List Rows Present in a Table command used in the CF only 'sees' rows present in the Excel table before running the PF, so that rows added by the PF on that very run are ommitted. 

Any ideas on why this is?

    Solved: enough delay time needs to be allowed after the functional ending of the parent flow and the initialization of the child flow. For an Excel with around 200 rows the waiting time might need to increase to up to 5 minutes!
