    You need to open excel and write to excel with Python code only .Basically you need to do entire operation using Python code itself and then use Power Automate Run python to just invoke the script.
     
    So import Python module like  openpyxl and do  all excel operations using Python code .
     
    Then use PA to just invoke the python script. 
     
    Just pasting some sample code:
    import openpyxl
    wBook = openpyxl.load_workbook('mydata.xlsx')
    sheet = wBook.active
    n = int(input('How many records you want to insert: '))
    for i in range(n):
        name = input(f'{i+1}. Enter name: ')
        age = input(f'{i+1}. Enter age: ')
        enroll = input(f'{i+1}. Enter Enrollment number: ')
        data = [name, age, enroll]
        sheet.append(data)
        wBook.save('mydata.xlsx')
    print('All records inserted successfully !')
