Changing an excel column name connected to a flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello all,

 

I'm new to the community so I apologize if this has been asked before. Microsoft Forms, Teams and Flow are new to me and my organization and I'm learning by doing but have a question. 

 

I created a flow to download data from a form submission to go to an excel table. It has been working beautifully but I want to make a slight change that a couple co-workers requested.

 

Can I change the name of a column in my table without it affecting my flow? Not adding or deleting columns, just a wording change to one column.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @Allyn67 ,

     

    If you change the column name, I am afraid you need to re-edit the Flow and update the configuration of the relevant part of the column.

     

    In Flow, we need to rely on the column name to call the value of the field. When creating or updating a row, you also need to configure related parameters according to the column name.

     

    Best Regards,
