Extracting Data From a File Received via Email and Appending File on SharePoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Hello - I'm trying to build a flow that takes the data received in (.xlsx format) from a weekly automated email and appends an existing Excel file to the next available blank row (which has multiple sheets, but only the current FY sheet needs to be appended), that is saved on our SharePoint. I've looked at multiple actions, but none seem to give me the ability to select the specific sheet that needs appending (I want to stress that I do not want to delete any existing data on my SharePoint file, just add the new data to it). I'd prefer not to create a separate file for the current FY as this would require modifications at the close of each FY, but if that's the way I need to proceed, so be it.

Thank you in advance for your time

    The excel actions typically depend on a table reference to manipulate rows. you can create a table specifying the range but I don't think this can be achieved dynamically in PA. In a similar use case I fixed it to 1000 rows as that file would never be that long. you would need to save the file to SharePoint or OneDrive to modify it to have a table so you can then iterate through the rows, adding the info to your existing Excel (which also needs a table defined). You would run these actions after saving the file to your OneDrive or SharePoint location from the email.
