How is my Excel file getting data from Sharepoint?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

We have a Power Automate process which, amongst other things, takes information from a Sharepoint list (taken from responses from a Microsoft form), and updates an existing Excel file with data.

 

The 'Update a row' steps do not include and of the dynamic fields for the data that is being pulled through, where is the Excel file finding this information from?

The headers on the Excel file table match exactly with questions from the Microsoft form, is this how it is pulling through?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi @RebWilson272 ! Did you make sure that the Excel file (or sheet) has a table? If not, try to make a table out of the data you have by formatting it as a table. This is important for the 'Update a Row' action to perform it's action!

    I'm here for the same exact question! My data is formatted into a table w/ headers.

    Hi,

    It is formatted as a table, the issue is not that 'update a row' isn't working, it's that I can't figure out how data is being put into my Excel table (as there is no dynamic fields in my power automate flow instructing it to)
