Very new user to PA. I've created a few successful flows, but none involving excel. This flow involves receiving a forms response and adding that data into an existing excel table. The flow is going to completion without failure, but there is no data uploading to excel. I did confirm that table1 matches up correctly. Thanks in advance!

    I wanted to add that I need the excel table to house all collected data from multiple submissions.

    Have you considered using the Excel spreadsheet that is automatically generated when you create an MS Form? If you aren't sure how to get to that spreadsheet, check out this section from one of my YT Tutorials.
     
    You shouldn't need a flow for your scenario unless you need to manipulate the data.
