Flow with Userinput as File, use Excel actions on file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MadW

I am starting to build a simple flow from an ERP system, where user triggers flow and upload file using User input.

From there I need to run through each row, and insert data back into ERP with triggers for that.

The file is a simple Excel file with no tables but fixed columns for data.

How do I use the file uploaded by user in my Excel actions and can I work with Excel file without tables?

Thanks a mill.

    Hi @MadW 

     

    If excel files are uploaded in SharePoint or one drive then you may use office script for extracting data from excel file:

    Fundamentals for Office Scripts in Excel - Office Scripts | Microsoft Learn

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @ManishSolanki 

    So I would need to save the file to onedrive.com or sharepoint first?

    Since the uploaded file is new each time I cannot use office script since the script would need to be stored inside the excel file, correct?

    I looked into the office scripts. And it seems that it is possible to save a script to sharepoint and use it on a defined spreadsheet.
