'Get a row' action on Excel producing error message

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

I'm trying to create an outlook event using Flow.

I'm having issues with the 'get a row' action in excel.

The key value option is coming up with an error everytime.

I'm using a date column in excel and I want to get a row with todays date as a column. I don't understand why it's coming back as an error.

Screenshots attached,

Any help would be appreciated.

    When we read date values from Excel, they come as Integer numbers but not as date values.

     

    Check following two posts which discussed the same issue:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Update-Excel-Row-by-DATE-key-column/td-p/446158

     

    I am sure above two posts will provide you the solution.
