Excel Add-In Flow from MS Store not showing my flows in online Power Automate

Posted on 23 Sep 2021 23:45:37 by 12

I have 2 flows, one of them I can run in Online Power Automate, the other has a trigger of selecting rows in a particular Excel sheet table.  My flows are just for my use - my Office 365 subscription has one user, just me.    Both flows refer to tables in this one workbook on Onedrive Business.

 

So my problem is I have tried to use the Flow app from the MS store which is an Add-In for Excel supposedly to link to Excel related flows and the icon appears in the Excel data tab called Automation.  With this file open, it says I don't have any flows for this file.

 

So I am trying to work out why...

  • Subscription or lack of is this the problem? What's allowed under Free access to online Power Automate is a total mystery after a lot of searching.  I can run one of my flows fine from within the online Power Automate so that doesn't sound the problem.  Can anyone clarify?
  • The file is on Onedrive Business but it's not Excel Online, it's Excel 365 - should it be Excel Online?
  • I have checked sign in for Power Automate and the 365 Workbook are the same.
  • I have closed the automatic syncing on Onedrive Business as I use Google Drive.  But the file is there and available on my Windows explorer in Onedrive Business.

What do you think is wrong here?  I have come to a screaming halt on using this tool for automation as I work primarily in Excel and to run it from Excel would be just the best way for me to use it.

 

thanks for your help,

John

    No sorry I didn't so I just stopped using Power Automate and haven't come back to it.

    Did you ever figure out what is wrong here? I have the exact same issue with the "automation" tab with my Excel add-in.
