    Hi , @wonka1234 

    According to your description, you want to get the latest file name in your SharePoint. This is my test flow.

    @v-yueyun-msft thanks, seems to be working, but the expession used in your compose, does it go into subfolders of my getfiles? I only want it to search the parent level for excel files not the subfolders. Seems like it is picking up an excel in an archive folder within the parent library name.
