I have many Excel worksheets in Sharepoint. I am trying to implement a flow to do an email notification. It is working in my first Excel worksheet. In my next Excel sheet, when I click on Flow in the Excel On Line, the flow panel opens. But, instead of displaying the flow I created, it says "Create your first flow" - so why dont I see the flow I already created?
Also - on a second comupter I can open the same worksheet. When I say to edit in Excel and I click on Flow, then the panel opens but it never populates and I hear a click, click click, click, click...
I did come up with a flow that runs off excel the way I wanted: It triggers an email notification based on a change to an excel file in SharePoint. It uses excel on SharePoint, vba macro to transfer data into a “master” excel file on shared network drive, which is synchronized to a SharePoint list which THEN triggers the email in flow when a new row arrives to the SharePoint list.
Feels a little “work-aroundy”, but it seems to be functional.
The initial approach wasn't workable b/c each separate excel sheet would be linked to each flow, the path/file gets some digital tokens that tie them together. So I abandoned the whole idea for awhile. Then I re-thought the process and came up with this approach.
I see in settings a reference to my Excel file:
1. Location (readable URL)
2. Document Library some odd code: b!ZFHrYtYJ5UOBWU_X... 65 characters
3. File another odd code 01U7T73... 34 characters
4. Table
So if I can figure out the odd code for all my Excel sheets in SharePoint could I modify the Document Library and the File so that the Flow could then be used over in other Excel sheets without having to re-create the flow for every separate Excel sheet? (There are hundreds of these sheets to run this Flow on).
Like with VBA or within the Flow?
Is it necesary to create a new flow for each separate Excel file that is in the Sharepoint directories? I would like this flow to execute for any Excel file in the Sharepoint directory as long as it contains a table called Table1 and the flow can run.
Hi @Anonymous,
How is your flow created? Could you show me a screenshot to help reproduce this issue on my side?
I assume that you are using the Excel online trigger For a selected row, is it right?
You said that in your next Excel sheet, you are asked to create your flow. Have you created a flow for this Excel file?
Please share more details to help reproduce this issue.
Best regards,
Mabel Mao
