Adding data from a json to a file that was created in the same flow

Posted on by 5

Hi all,

 

In a power automate flow, I am currently trying to enter json data (successfully parsed in power automate flow) into a newly created excel file that was copied template file.

 

The template is an excel file, with an empty table that looks like this:

However, when I try to copy this template file and insert data into it, I get an error, and it won't allow me to create the mapping of the json data to the desired columns.

    Hi , @choraN 

    The "Add a row into a tabel" -Row property need this format Data:
    [{Description:"xxx","Answer":"xxx",......},{Description:"xxx","Answer":"xxx",......},{Description:"xxx","Answer":"xxx",......}]

     

    But the "Get file content" action is return the base64 file content instead of the json.

    So if you want to copy the excel table to another excel table , you need to use the "List row present in a table" action to get the json content in stead of the "Get file content" action.
