(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ramxnan

Hey everyone
I am trying to embed an excel into a website which requires me to get the unique ID of the excel document, i want to know how to get the unique ID automatically when a new excel sheet is created in the folder (I need to display an excel for each user)

There is no way of doing this from what i research, would be helpful for any solution

    Is the new created file in your OneDrive folder? Or is it in a SharePoint folder?

     

    What unique ID are you referring to?

    There is the ItemID that is a number just like a list item number 187.

    There is the Drive ItemID that is a number letter string like 01ATA4YO2QHYY2XMXUZVEKWELGADPORPEQ

    There is the UniqueId that is a GUID like 32e19a56-a6df-495d-9f4e-0391cf9db8eb

    I referred to the following article:
    https://www.expiscornovus.com/2023/05/04/get-uniqueid-of-file/

     

    You will get the UniqueID using the "Send an HTTP request to SharePoint" action.

     

    The parameter:
     URI: _api/web/lists/getbytitle('@{variables('LibraryName')}')/items(@{variables('ItemId')})/FieldValuesAsText?$select=UniqueId
     Headers: {"Accept": "application/json;odata=nometadata","Content-Type": "application/json;odata=nometadata"}
