I am buildin a flow with the following steps:
1. create one file "Kaupiklis"
2. create second file "Likuciai"
3. then i want to read data from "Kaupiklis"
4. and insert into file "Likuciai"
But the problem is that if there is no still file in sharepoint library "Likuciai", how can i build flow?
Can i implement Add rows to table into non existing file?
@opit ,
As @Maurits said, you couldn't add rows to table to a non existsing file before the flow runs, we could only add row to existing file before the flow runs.

I don't think you can do that using the Excel connectors as the file should exist when designing and the file should exist when Flow starts. If the new filename always has the same location and name, then maybe you can solve this with a nested flow.
First flow creates the new version of the file and starts the second flow that adds the rows.
You could also do it "the hard way". Not using the Excel connectors, but the graph api's.
With the graph api's you can modify Excel files using a file id that you could have retreived a step before from a copy or create step.
I did that recently for the first time. Was quiet hard to find out how the graph api's had to be used, but if your willing to learn I think that's the way to go. Especially when the location and name of the new file is dynamic.
Good luck!
@Anonymous I am creating the files. files do not exist on library. And i want after creating the file to update it. But when i choose in Flow Update Rows action I do not get fields which i need to update. If I choose file which already exists on a library then I get these fields to update (see my screen shot).
