Is there a way that I can convert an existing Excel worksheet with data that isn’t in a table format to a table formatted worksheet?

I receive an excel file that has a consistent number of rows, but may have varying numbers of columns.

The file is not formatted with any tables. I have a flow that saves the Excel file received as an attachment to a SharePoint location and am now looking to create a flow that reads the content of the file and updates a separate sharepoint list based on the content.

I’m stuck at how to convert the non-table formatted Excel file to one with a table within flow.

I know I can use “Create Table” but how would I determine the table size (I.e. the number of columns to specify in the table range)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Create Excel Table with Existing Excel Data

Hello

Is there a known max number of columns?
Are the columns always in the same sequence, no matter how many columns there are?

Example:
Excel file 1 has columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I , J , K, L, M, N, O
Excel file 2 has columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Excel file 3 has columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K

Or are there a pattern to which columns are in each Excel file?

Kind regards, John
