Hi aalalim,

First, Microsoft Flow doesn’t support formula in Excel table. There is similar idea on Flow Ideas Forum, please consider voting the idea at here:

Second, Excel from SharePoint connector has not been supported currently, we could use Excel table that is saved on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, Dropbox. Please vote and comment the idea at here:

For your scenario, I would suggest you remove all the formulas on the Excel table and locate the file on other could storage account. Then trigger the flow with “Recurrence”, then use the action “Excel - Get rows” to get all the items in the table.

In addition, you can also add an action “Create HTML table” to format the data into a table then send email with table.

Please feel free reply if you need more help.

The Excel (Business) connector now provides support for both issues; Excel files that contain formulas and Excel files that are stored in SharePoint.

I'm using the Excel Business connector and it still isn't creating the formula when a new row is inserted. Does this functionality exist?
