Excel: List rows present in table and issues with "for a selected file" trigger

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I am trying to read rows from an excel table (the table exists!) and populate a sharepoint list. I get this to work if i specify the actual file in the List rows present in a table - it reads the column headers, BUT when i use the dynamic file selected in the trigger, it fails to read the column headers.

 

I found a work around that is to set up the create item action with an actual file and then return it to a dynamic file. However, i find this to be not robust enough.

 

Any tips on this issue? cheers

    Hi @FbK1000 

     

    You need to add "Get file properties" action to get the file identifier and use this file identifier in "List rows present in a table" action to get the records.

     

    Here is an example:

    Add "Get file properties" before "List rows present in a table" action. Pass the ID from the trigger.

    Pass the file identifier to the 'File' parameter from the output of previous action:
