    The _PowerAppsID_ column should be created automatically when you are adding Excel Online Connector 

    sometimes this column is hidden, and You will not see it but should be there.

     

    In power apps You should be able refer to this column just by using ID

     

    Also, important thing to do any Updates or Edits the excel file need to be closed or you will not be able to do anything.
