Posted on by 40

I'm seeking suggestions on how to efficiently determine the number of columns in an Excel file using Power Automate. I need a method or expression that can accurately count the columns present in the Excel file retrieved through Power Automate.

Any recommendations or techniques would be greatly appreciated
