Autopopulate columns based on the file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

I am trying to auto populate a column in a sharepoint document library based on the file of that row.

 

Each excel document is the same with different data, for example each document has a column with quantity and one row with a number eg 2 I would like the column in the library also,  named quantity, to return the value 2 by reading the document 

 

Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    You can do this, but the data in each Excel file must be formatted as a table.

    Then you can retrieve the row(s) you need from the Excel.

    Here an example. It gets an array with a list of file names for the excel files. And than it gets the row from each file where column quantity is equal to 1 within table "Table1".

    So the key is standardization within filenames, tables names and formatting of the Excel files.
