Save excel file to sharepoint folder

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

 Hi all, 

 

I am new to power automate desktop and learning a lot about it every minute. 

I have found a video how to export data from SAP to an excel file and save it to my desktop. 

Next step is to save this file to a sharepoint folder (which I can not sync to my computer) 

 

searching the in other topics didn't gave me a solution. 

Can someone please help me.

 

Regards

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Try a flow with these generic steps:

    1. Capture the full name of the file you want to load

    2. 'Launch new Edge' (or you preferred browser) and navigate to the page with your SharePoint's folder

    3. 'Press button on web page' to hit 'Load' button

    4. 'Click link on web page', click on 'Files'

    5. In the window to select file, fill 'Name' field with file's name (use 'Populate text field in window')

    6. Click Open button (use 'Press button in window')

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Thank you for your answer. 

    I tried your solution, but I get stuck at the point 4 "Click link on web page", click on Files.

     

    For some reason power automate doesn't see the link  'Files'. 

    therefore I can't select the file in de window. 

     

    I switched to the classic version of sharepoint. After that I get to the screen for selecting a file. 

    And I can also select the file and close the window. 

    But when I run the flow I get an error message

    Any idea?

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Try this instead of step 4 (tested):

    4.1. 'Get windows', foreground window

    4.2. 'Focus windows', instance = %AutomationWindow%

    4.3. 'Send keys': down, up, Enter

    Steps 4.1-4.2 to assure 'Send Keys' will work
