Track New OneDrive Files in an Online Excel Spreadsheet (Business)

I'm using the flow (link), but for some reason it's not inserting the date on the excel "add_a_row_into_a_table"

And this is online Excel, using the two columns (Name and Date)

I just need the name of the file and the date that it was created

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Please take a try to use base64ToString() function to convert.

    Hi @Anonymous 

    I test on my side with the Template flow and it can work well.

    You can refer to the screenshots below.

    This is my test excel with a Table named Table1

    vLilyWmsft_0-1635314700989.png

    When a new file is created in Test10.27 Folder. The file name and created time will be added in the excel.

    I set the excel as a table, now I'm having a different error:

    the input data when I click on download link is
