Hello @Anonymous , I have started a question a few days ago about exactly the same issue. I cannot start a simple flow from Excel. The panel turns white and nothing runs.

So far I have not received any explanation or help.

@Anonymous - Hi there, I was working with someone today and it seemed like the connection to their table got lost (for lack of a more technical term). Can you send a screenshot of the trigger bit showing the filename and table? If it looks like just a string of numbers and NOT the filename or table, try re-selecting it to see if that helps.

@teylyn1 - I'll see if I can find your thread, too 🙂

@ both - Keep us posted and let everyone know how it pans out.

Thanks,
Ed

@edgonzalesI have re-selected it many times already... When I edit and save flow, file name seems OK (see 1), when I come back to edit flow again, there is file name in form of numbers&letters (see 1a). Interesting thing is that subsequent steps using the same file show right name without need to change it (see 2)...

Hi @Anonymous ,

Is the Excel file stored in SharePoint Library or OneDrive for Business?

You could try to trigger flow in SharePoint Online or Office 365-OneDrive for Business.

Please take a try.

Best Regards,

@v-bacao-msftit is in SharePoint library created together with creation of new team in Microsoft Teams.
As for now I can't test trigerring flow from Excel Online because add in is not installed by our admin. I will give it a try to contact admin and change it...
