Automatically copy data from Excel to SharePoint based on a value match

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Antje1 21

I have the following scenario: After entering a value into a SharePoint List (left), PowerAutomate automatically searches in a specific Excel file column (right) for a match. Once a match is found, PowerAutomate will copy the entire row of data belonging to the matched value into the SharePoint List. How would I program this in PowerAutomate?

    Re: Automatically copy data from Excel to SharePoint based on a value match

    Hello @Antje1,

    Thank you for the clear goal of what you're looking to accomplish. This is a pretty simple setup. Basically, trigger when a new item is created in SharePoint, call up all the rows of the excel, then compare the order number and update the SharePoint row.  One thing to note is that it is VERY helpful to update the Date format to "ISO 8601"when calling up anything dealing with dates. See if this helps.

     

    *Disregard the ID and Title columns as those are required and I just entered numbers
