Hi
I am trying to update a cell in in an excel file but my flow keeps returning 404 error unable to find the the row with ID....
Here is the flow:
SubString FYI: substring(body('Get_file_metadata')?['Name'],0,11)
I have also tried just using the folder name as the Key Value, but still no luck.
It keeps falling over at 'Update a row', here is the output:
As you can see it's there in A:5...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I ran into the same issue and saw it being a problem intermittently and I think I've found the solution! The data.
Please check if the data contains additional spaces. It seems that a filter query like ColumnName eq 'Yes' will bring back all the items containing 'Yes' even if the field is 'Yes ' with a space at the end. This runs into an issue on the delete because if you're deleting the row where ColumnName is 'Yes' and it's really 'Yes ' it fails to match and therefore fails.
Solution?
Maybe see if you can implement some stricter rules on the excel sheet to prevent people typing things incorrectly.

I had such problem:
it can appeare because of unlimited rows in Excel table.
Seems, like power automate can't search data in such tables.
When I add down bounder:
Resize table from like($A:$B) value to like ($A$1:$B$4) - it starts work.
I hope these solutions work for you.
It is not about the size of the table, it is about the identity column of a Table. Power Automate make the first column of a table the identity column by default. When you know it, the problem is solved
Hello all,
I also faced this problem.
But!!!! After I re-sized my table and it works!!
At the beginning, my table range was $A"$:AC, and the error message showed "cannot find the row with ID 'xx'.
After I re-sized my tabel range to A##:AC##, then it works!!
You can try.

Experienced completely out of the blue (no changes were made and nothing was touched) the same after it worked for about 3 years flawless.
Had a flow to run when a task is placed in a certain bucket and the task was marked as completed.
What helped me (finally) was to force the Key Value to be an integer:
Thanks @mabraham : That was the solution for me: Change table from $A:$N to $A1:$N500 (limited rows) and everything worked nicely!
If this is an error due to data range not set correctly. Check this
