Get row dynamically from Excel Online table

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LC-01101137-0 2
Hello,
 
I have an Excel file that is updated (overwritten) every day and I want to create a flow that do a lookup between the Excel file and a Sharepoint List/SQL in order to update in Sharepoint List/SQL the rows that were modified and to insert a new row for each ID that is not in the Sharepoint List/SQL.
 
The File name and Table name are dynamically derived from other steps, as I could not selected them from the dropdown because the file is overwritten everyday.
 
 
 
I am now in the point where I need to set up the key value and this is the point where I have got stuck.
 
 
Every advice is very welcomed and appreciated.
 
Thank you in advance!

    HI
     
    You must have the Key. Since its dynamic, you will have to use the 
    Add a key to a Table Column action to add it before you do the Get a Row
     
    So before your list rows use that action to add the key. then do a Wait action for 3-10 minutes
     
    Then do your list and your get row
     
    and it will work.
