So my main Sharepoint List has been edited with PowerApps to edit some of the fields. Some columns are connected to an Excel file. As excel is crappy for this, it creates many errors. Sharepoint Lists has less.
Problem is, I'm forced to use data sourced live from Excel document exported from Navision 2018. So, I need a way to auto update a Sharepoint list from an Excel file. I tried this solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlw5_qV8pIo, but this only worked for small datasets. Mine has over 30k rows. And PowerAutomate only allowed with a Pagination of 5000, which only produced 4608 rows for some reason.
A solution I guess would be dividing the Excel file in sheets of 5000. Do you know how I would go about this? I guess I would need having a main Excel file, and another automated one that divides every 5000 rows. And then use that for the Youtube mentioned flow. Still, don't know if this will work, as at least for me it did not create the 5000 rows it should've.
Another solution I thought is with a Flow periodically delete the Sharepoint populated from Excel, then create a new one with the Excel file each day (I think I'd still face the pagination issue...). But, this will create an issue where my PowerApps form wouldn't recognise the Sharepoint List, even if I named it the same, no?
So... I can't really come up with alternative or a clear solution for this problem. As I've said, I need an auto-updatable Data Source that PowerApps can use to populate options for a column. Or maybe Navision can produce another type of document that I can use as a source?
Hi,
One possible solution to this issue is to divide the Excel file into sheets of 5000 rows each and then use Power Automate to import each sheet into SharePoint. To do this, you can create a new Excel file that contains multiple sheets, each with 5000 rows of data. You can then use Power Automate to import each sheet into SharePoint as a separate list.
Another possible solution is to use a third-party tool such as SkySync or Layer2 Cloud Connector to synchronize the data between Excel and SharePoint. These tools can handle large datasets and provide more advanced features than Power Automate.
