Building a New Excel and applying a template each day

(0) ShareShare

Hi there, I am pretty new to writing flows. Trying to write a flow that will automatically create a new worksheet with a template applied to the new sheet as a landing zone for daily data to be uploaded as reports are submitted. I am able to create a new sheet and label it with the date.

Tried writing a script to apply to the new page. Now trying to get the "template" workpage to copy and paste. Neither approach has been working. 

 

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate the help. 

 

Thanks

    The approach I have tried before and work pretty well is as below:

    1. Create your Excel Template File with the Table formatting and column Headers you want and then save it to a specific sharepoint or one drive folder, in the below sample i will share below I was using SharePoint.

     

    2. Get the stored excel template created in step 1

    3. Create a new file with the content from the template as below and save it with a new name and in the specific path you would like

    4. Then Use Get Tables on the newly created file in step 3 as below, using the Path output from previous step

    5. Then you can do you logic and add rows in a table as below, you need to construct the row manually according to your logic in JSON format
