I have managed to edit a record via a edit form. When submitting - the excel (Datasource) is not reflecting the change.

Please can someone help me?

Thanks

    Ensure that before submitting the record or save button, the Excel in the Ondrive is closed. 

    If the file is opened, the record will not be submitted to the Excel Table

    If it had originally worked before. That is you have been able to submit/save before, then refresh the datasource or Delete the excel connection inside the poowerapps and reconnect again.

     

    If this is the first time of saving into the datasource, the please show sample columns in your Excel table
