Dynamic table name doesn't allow me to add parameters

Hi all!

 

Some days ago some of you helped me solving this issue. Currently I encountered another issue within the same flow: 

 

The flow is meant to, once I receive an email with PDF attachments and those are saved in an specific folder (another flow), AI Builder fetches relevant information (dates, amounts, ref numbers) from the PDFs, and power automate creates a new worksheet in an Excel File, then a table and then it has as many rows as hedge trades into that table (I'm building a desktop flow in parallel and will integrate it later in order to input the data in the excel to the a legacy system). Below the flow so far.

The problem is, that I need that the worksheets and the tables are dynamic, meaning that they are named considering the trade date as they are created. With the worksheets I had no issue.

However, I also want a dynamic name for the table. When I create the table everything looks good:

However, when I add the action "Add a row into a table" and I use the variable "TableName", I don't have the option to add the (column) variables in order to fill the different rows once the flow is run.

What I would like is something like the below. As you can see I used the word "Example" to name the table and it gives me the possibility to include all the parameters. But if I add a dynamic value I can't.

Could someone help?

 

Best,

Iván

    Hi @ivanalvarez ,

     

    Unfortunately, you can't use dynamic values for tables in the "Add a row into a table" action. The table needs to actually exist in the Excel file and be manually selected in order for the columns to be displayed.

    Hi @Antrod

     

    I was afraid that would be the case. Thanks for your swift reply.
