Rename Excelfile with Data from Excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am a absolute beginner and would appreciate some help. I would like to automate naming the file name of an excel after a cell from the excel file. The excel comes as an email attachment and is stored in sharepoint. Do you have a solution for me how to automatically adjust the file name with what is in the cell in the file? Thank you in advance.

    @Anonymous  i would suggest to first save the file in SharePoint from email attachment, then read the file content using "List rows present in a table"  action, to get the file name you want to use and rename the file in sharepoint REST API - reference to rename file https://pnp.github.io/blog/post/how-to-rename-files-in-sharepoint-with-power-automate/
