I'm trying to build a flow that will look at each row in an Excel file that is stored in a SharePoint Site library. I found one connector but the only option is to get the file contents from my OneDrive account. Has anyone created a flow that will do that?

Re: Get email address from an excel file stored in SharePoint Online

Yes, the file is in SharePoint. Here's the entire picture. I run an audit report once a quarter in the Security and Compliance center to look for social security numbers. The report is downloaded and cleaned up and then uploaded into SharePoint. I want the workflow to look at the rows in the excel file and group them by the person who created the document, create a file that's in a user friendly format and send 1 email (grab the first one in the group) with the attached file to the person who created the documents so they can either delete the file or remove the personal identifiable information.

Re: Get email address from an excel file stored in SharePoint Online

Hi @boydsi,

Do you want to look at each row of an Excel file that is stored within your SharePoint library?

If you want to look at each row of an Excel file that is stored within your SharePoint library, I think the "List rows present in a table" action and the "Get a row" action of the Excel Online (Business) connector could achieve your needs.

I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround:

Add a proper trigger, here I use Flow Button trigger.

Add a "List rows present in a table" action of Excel Online (Business) connector, Location set to your SharePoint Site, Document Library set to your SharePoint library within the SharePoint Site that you specified above, File set to your Excel file, Table set to the Table name within your Excel file.

Add a "Apply to each" action, input parameter set to output of the "List rows present in a table" action.

Within "Apply to each" action, add a "Get a row" action. Location set to the SharePoint Site that you specified above, Document Library set to your SharePoint library within the SharePoint Site that you specified above, File set to your Excel file that you specified above, Table set to the Table name within your Excel file. Key Column field set to a column within your Excel table and the Key Value field set to corresponding Dynamic content of the "List rows present in a table" action.

Note: I assume that the data of your Excel file (stored within your SharePoint) has been formatted as a table.

The flow works successfully as below:
