Is there an Excel Row limit when I extract data

Posted on by Json123 133

Hi,

 

I have made a Flow where it will be making updates to an Excel file depending on the action. However, I will be adding rows each week. 

 

Is there a limit to how many rows Flow can pull at once? 

 

I made a flow a while back where it would extract from Excel and create a task in MS Planner but it would stop after 256 rows. 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

James

    Hi!

    In order to read more than 256 rows with 'List rows present in a table' action block, you need to activate pagination

    Hope this helps

    Hi @Json123 ,

     

    Follow @efialttes 's suggestions, you could enable Pagination to get more rows:
