    Hi @ahmadbutt,

     

    Unfortunately, there is no way to get the Excel file content which is newly created.

    Because Excel file connector couldn't get the Excel table from a dynamic excel file path, it is only could get from a fixed excel file.

    Hi @ahmadbutt,

     

    For example, the Excel is stored in a folder OneDrive for Business, the name is Flooring and has a table named Flooring, the action will get all rows of the Excel file:

    Then if you want to copy the table to a SharePoint list, you can use the Apply to each action + Create item action of SharePoint connector:
