    Hi @chiranjit ,

     

    You may have to double check the table range. As I mentioned above, blank columns are not allowed in a table as well. So, I suspect the table only includes the first two columns. You can also try and select the proper table range and format as table again.

    Hi @v-jefferni , Forward Journey is not part of table. Problem is when I use "Add a row into Table" I have received "Table Requirements" and 'Value" not "Mode", "Origin", "Destination" ... It identifies not coloumn wise.

    Hi @chiranjit ,

     

    Do you mean the merged field "Forward Journey" is also a part of this table? It just not allowed by the Excel connector due to invalid table schema. To be honest, I don't think it's necessary to include this row in the table. Also, it is not allowed to include blank column names in a table. I understand you'd prefer to make the table beautiful, but table schema is much more important.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi @v-jefferni , Thanks for your reply . My excel template looks like this where 4th row is merged cells . and there are 4 tables but I am not updating data in merged cells , I am updating in 6th,7th,8th col through PA , where there is no merged cells. 

    Probably the issue is when I use action "Add a row into Table" it identifies data in row-wise not column wise. is there any solution?

    Hi @chiranjit ,

     

    According to the error message, it is not allowed to have merged cells in the sheet when using power automate connects Excel. Please check this issue in your excel file.
