Excel file processing

Posted on by WG-21040955-0
I've build an agent in copilot studio light that out of the box processes Excels attached to the chat and reasons over them.
When I try to transfer that into copilot studio, the settings mention XLSX files as attachements it can work with but whenever I do attache it the agent does not recognize the file and cant work with that file.
 
How can I make it proces any random Excel files attached by the user to the chat.

    You can use  Power Automate to handle the attachment:
     
    •     Capture the uploaded file
    •     Store it (SharePoint / OneDrive)
    •     Use Excel connector (e.g., List rows in a table)
    •     Pass the extracted data back to the agent
