Posted on by 49

Hi All,

 

I am new to power automate so looking for help on below:

 

I wanted to update and create values for many columns in excel through power automate but instead of entering  cell values independently I wanted users to choose a value from drop down but not sure how to incorporate it in flow/action.

 

Looking for drop down for state ,assigned and other columns as well while using power automate flows ,Is its possible if yes help me with the steps .

    Hi @nishak323 

     

    Power Automate allows manual input for certain data types. Below click on Add an input

    As you can see below few data type inputs are supported but nothing for the dropdown lists.

    Possible another solution is have a look on PowerApps where you can use the datasource as Excel.
