Posted on by rsinha 2

Hi Folks,

 

When I am trying to write the excel file from SQL query execute step in Power Automate desktop, column headers/names are missing. It is inserting the data from first row. I am performing these actions. Can anyone guide me how to add column names in Excel sheet.

    You need to write the variable "Header" before you write the QueryResult to Excel worksheet.

    I did try that, but somehow it doesn't work. If you could share some more details or screenshot, that'd be very helpful.

     

    thank you!

    Use "Write to Excel workshhet" function to write the value %Header% into A1 cell of the Excel instance %ExcelInstance% after you lunch Excel.
