Run SQL queries on an Excel File using Power Automate Cloud

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I have a table in a Excel File and I would like to run sql queries on this table. I've found multiple sites that answered this question (notably this one: Run SQL queries on Excel files - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn), however all of them use Power automate Desktop and i'm using the cloud version, so the setup is different from the tutorials I've seen. Additonally, I seem to not have access to the "Open an SQL connection" action on power Automate Cloud. Can someone please help me with this issue ?

    Thank you for your quick answer! My issue is that I'm also planning on executing more complex sql queries between different tables (on different Excel files) so I think it'd be easier for me to find a way to create an sql connection with my files (I'm trying with just one file for now). Unfortunately, I have no idea why this action isn't available on my Power Automate Cloud. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Random1234 ,

     

    Use Filter Query.

     

    Sample Data in SharePoint Document Library:

    Hope this will work for you.
