    Hi @ganesh815 

     

    Super easy. Let me walk you through the steps.

    1. The data below should be in a named Excel table. Otherwise, you won't be able to access the data.
    2. Then use a trigger that makes sense. You can use Scheduled or Manual, but not Automatic since there are no Excel triggers for that.
    3. Read the data. For that, you need to fetch the whole data and cycle through it.
    4. Add an if to filter out the results and send an email.
    5. Below you can find the Flow and attached the Excel example.
