Excel "For a selected row" add-in : Only able to process concurrent selected rows?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I've been able to get the Excel add-in running that will launch flows for a selected rows, even running them for multiple rows.

 

I've run into an issue though where, for example, I want to run a flow for rows 1-5, 8, and 10. The flow button will not activate for this. If I filter out rows 6, 7, and 9 as to only display the ones I want to run together, the flow button WILL be available, but it runs the flow for rows 1-10. If I do the same filter but use the Select Visible Cells feature to truly highlight 1-5, 8, and 10, the flow button CAN be utilized, but I receive a blank screen on the Flow pane with nothing happening.

 

Is this simply a limitation of the add-in, or is there a way around it? In my case I am trying to run the flow on multiple thousands of rows (still staying under the 5000 concurrent limit however) broken up in a file of over 10k rows. Thanks!

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    The "For a select row" is only support pass one piece of data, through you select multiple rows, the Flow only could get one row which the cursor stop.

    Actually, there has some issue that when sign in the Excel Add-in it will receive a blank screen on the Flow pane with nothing happening, we will report it and make Microsoft Automate Development process it, if there has any process, we will let you know as soon as possible.
