Open a file based on a list in excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a process where I issue a standard excel-file to be used by many users, where they will then do manual working to this file.

When I issue a new version of this file, I want to use PAD to extract this data from all the files and copy over to this new version.

 

I have built a flow that gathers all relevant addresses to excel-files from a SharePoint and store into an excel sheet.

I then manually revise and edit this list to clear out any invalid data.

 

Then what I would like to do is to open those files one by one extract this information and copy over to the new version.

But I cant use the datarow information in the CurrentItem from the cells in a way that can be used as a filepath. 

 

Should be a easy fix, but I just cant seem to figure it out. Anyone that could help?

    What do you mean you can't use the datarow information... Do you get an error of any kind, or what happens?
