Hi,

 

My question is regarding Key Column and Key Value.  The documentation at Excel Online (Business) - Connectors | Microsoft Learn isn't really useful.  What should we select as Key Column and Key Value?  I just want to delete all rows.  Thanks!

    Here's more information.  The XLS is a small file with 20 rows max.  It contains a list of new action items which I'm trying to read using Flow to create Tasks in Planner.  I would like to delete the rows which has been successfully converted to Tasks.

    This is the best solution to implement easily. If you have very large tables (in terms of rows) and need the flows to run faster, then I would use an Excel Script to delete all rows.
