Copy data from excel with no table

Hello!

I have some local experience working with Power Automate, I am currently trying to create an automate that picks up an excel that is automatically exported daily and sent to an email. I am trying to take the data from the attached excel and paste it into a another excel (via sharepoint), the problem is, is that the original file does not have a table so I am unsure how to take the data from one excel, with no table, and put it into another (existing) excel (table or not.)

I plan on having formulas to capture and sort the imported data for my needs (on separate tabs) to prevent issues with the import.

I would post my flow so far, but for this function I need, I can't find anything. All the solution are from table to table that I can find. I appreciate any help!

    You can use Office Scripts to transform the data into an Excel table.

    (See the table section in the docs)

     

     

    Alternatively if you can have the emails send a CSV version of the file, I also have a template for that.
