SQL to Excel Table is too slow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by bkienle 5

Hi,

 

i have a problem with Power Automate.

I want add Rows from a SQL Query to an Excel table. 

It works but it is extremely slow. The SQL Query has about 600 rows so in my opinion not very much. 

Can anybody tell me why it takes so much time?

    Hi @bkienle ,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of the actions inside the "Apply to each"?

    I think the flow takes 7 minutes to create 600 rows in the Excel table from the SQL Query is within the normal range.

     

    Best regards,

    Alice

    Hi Alice,

    But if the duration ist normal in power automate i am fine with it. I only thougt it has to be faster because if write a c# program to do this, it is much faster. 

     

    Thank you
