Connect to a shared excel file in Canvas App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by efl

Hello,

 

I am trying to use a shared excel file as my data in a power apps canvas app. However I couldn't find the file anywhere trying to connect via excel connector or sharepoint connector.

 

The excel file is stored in sharepoint from a microsoft teams team I am not a part of.

 

Is there a way to connect to a shared excel file anyhow?

    Hi @efl ,

     

    I'm afraid that is not available. But you could insert a flow into the app to access the date in the shared excel file.(You need to manually enter the SharePoint site URL and File ID)
