Posted on by 10

Hi, Every morning I receive several files with data that I compile in an Excel file that I name "Follow-up". currently I have to open the "tracking" file every day to click on "update" in order to have my latest data.
I would like to update my Excel file automatically in my OneDrive every morning at 7 a.m.
can power automate do this action?

thanks for your help.

    Hey

     

    Yes, you can automate that but if you have to click on something inside an Excel file, you should maybe user Power Automate Desktop, not Power Automate Cloud Flows... This way you don't have to change the update process or whatever is behind it...

     

    Power Automate Desktop is a Program you can download and install on your local machine and create a simple scheduled Flow that opens the file at 7am and clicks the button for you. It's like a robot and you tell it what to click and when...

     

    You can find the installer and setup guide here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/install
