Hi, I have two rows in excel. I want to transpose and paste these rows into another excel sheet. I want a simple flow without using Power BI or Office scripts. Thanks!

    Power Automate does not have a native transpose function, but your approach for handling a small two-row dataset is completely spot on.

    Using the List rows present in a table action combined with first() and last() expressions (or index brackets [0] and [1]) is the smartest way to tackle this. By explicitly pulling the values from the first and second rows and mapping them directly into your target action, you completely bypass the need for an Apply to each loop. This keeps the flow fast and simple.

    Just keep in mind that this hard-coded approach only scales if the source structure remains fixed at two rows. If you ever need to handle a larger or dynamic dataset in the future, you will want to look into an Office Script or a Power Query integration to handle the structural transformation dynamically.

    This is safe to share and represents an excellent design pattern for this specific scenario.
