Create A Flow That Inserts Date and Time in Excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I need to create a flow that will insert a date and time stamp in excel when someone enters information in a certain cell. 

 

I have a form that gets filled out. 

The answers get pulled into a excel spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet has a couple of blank columns. 

When one of the columns gets information entered in (manually), I would like a date and time stamp to fill in a separate column. 

 

I tried using a now or today formula but it will not fill down correctly when a new form answer is submitted.

    Hi @halleyk ,

     

    Could you share a screenshot of your Flow configuration?

    If you want to insert today's date into the specified column, you can use the utcNow() function.
