Delete Row in Excel After Creating Outlook Event

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NiallOB01 18

Hi there, I have a flow which reads data from an excel sheet and places an outlook event into my calendar, which works absolutely fine apart from one small annoying factor.  Below is an overview of the current flow.

The issue is that every day it will place that event in the calendar causing duplicates. I know there is a delete a row function built in to Power Automate however I am unsure how to get it to work to delete the row AFTER it has created the outlook event.

    Hi @NiallOB01 

     

    Flow contains the Delete a row action which can be used to delete a row.

    Your table needs to contain a key column (such as ID, etc.), and the data in the key column must be unique to ensure that the correct row is deleted.

    In my test, Employee Name is the key column (the Employee Name is different for each row).
