Posted on by

Hi Experts, 

 

i would like to create a file in excel with Power automate that logs date and time of email/attachment is received in Shared inbox. 

at this moment i managed to save attachments into a folder but then i have to manually log the date and time of the file being saved/received myself  in excel.

 

i hope there is a way to automate this and if anyone can help 

 

looking forward to hear any suggestions

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Its really easy actually. 

    What is a Table? Its when you go into Excel and leverage the Add Table feature, and select the rows/columns you want to be part of it, including the headers.

     

    Steps 

    If your Excel already has a Table in it, then its literally 1 action

    -Use the Add a row to a Table (Excel), where you define the File and Table and then it will have you populate the values of the columns. Super easy

     

    Thats literally all you do


    If your file doesn't have a Table you need to add it or use 

    -use the Create Table Action to add the Table to Excel. This will have you define the Rows/Columns you want to include in the Table.

    -Use add a row to a Table (Excel)


    If you like my answer, I would really appreciate if you please Mark it as Resolved, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers

    Thank You
