@ChristianAbata thank you for your answer.

But, how can I identify one worksheet from others?
I have several worksheets in the same excel.

@Kamacete

With the example I just implemented, it is working fine.

THe potential differences I find are:

1.-It took to your flow 5 secs to read your Worksheets, in my case the excel was simple, it just took 1 sec. MAybe you should add a delay action block, let's say 10 secs in between, just in case.

2.- My excel file has a single Worksheet

3.- I defined two rows, you defined just once

4.- I use capital letters to define range

5.- I didn't add a semicolon at the end of the Column List

Hope this helps

Re: Create Table in an existing Excel Online

Hi again

I just added manually a second sheet to my excel file, now my flow creates the table in 'Hoja1' instead of 'Hoja2'.

So either the error you got is a random one; or the delay is needed for bigger files than mine, or... how many excel sheets do you currently have in your excel file?

Thanx!

Re: Create Table in an existing Excel Online

I have 4 worksheets, but maybe I see this from a wrong perspective.

Is there any way to get the information from the worksheet without a table and insert the data into an existing excel, with just a worksheet and table?

if yes, this solve my problem
