Create SP List Item from Excel AND adding the same attachment to each item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Julien1 125

Hi,

 

I have so far built a flow as follows:

1 - Trigger PowerApps

2 - List rows present in Excel table

3 - For each row > Create SP Item

 

In the For Each loop, I would need to add a "Add attachment" step, where the attachment would be selected by the user via a browse dialog box. If the user selects ExcelFile.xlsx, that same file would be attached to all items. It could be any kind of file, not only Excel.

 

The flow is triggered via button on a PowerApp.

I have been looking for hours, in vain.

 

Any hint, please ?

 

Thanks!

    @Julien1 please see if this works for you, first save the excel in a SharePoint library - get ID of the file and save it in a variable, then read the excel and dump data in SharePoint list and have a column like ParentID - and save the file id from the variable

    Makes no sense to add the same attachment for each item.

    This seems a simpler approach, store the file first and add ID of the file against each record so you can identity the file associated with the record
