Extracting Data from Excel cell that is a dropdown list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ciano789 28

Hi All,

 

I have the below flow that is working despite the error.

The flow was built to update an excel file which is saved in Site B whenever the excel file in Site A is edited.

 

The issue is some of the excel cells in File A (Site A) are dropdown lists so flow isn't picking up the selected item that the User has selected in the dropdown (it's just outputting blank cells with the list, but nothing is selected).

 

Is there a solution out there for this?

    Hi @ciano789 ,


    If a user makes too many requests within a short period of time, it is possible to get a 429 response.

    I think you could optimize flow logic or add delay to avoid 409 errors.

     

    Best Regards,
