Daily Export from SharePoint List to Excel Online (Business)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

I'm trying to use Microsoft Flow to grab items in a SharePoint list and copy them into an Excel Online (Business) file every day. 

 

I was able to copy items into an existing Excel Online (Business) sheet with a manually created Table using:

 

1. Schedule flow run

2. Get Items (filter query to grab items meeting the condition I want)

3. Add rows into Table

 

However, the items populate the bottom portion of the created Table. In other words, my created Excel table had 132 rows, but the Flow (correctly) returned 40 items and placed them at the bottom of the table (see attached).

 

Since the number of items returned each day will vary, how do I create a flow that creates a table then adds the appropriate number of rows based on the conditions I define?

 

Many thanks,

Drew

    I am trying to use the available template "Copy SharePoint list items to Excel Online Business and send an email" to have a live update on Excel of the new items in the MS Lists, but instead of adding only new items it adds continuously the same lines every each interval, without checking it if a line already exists, do you know how to solve it? 

    Thanks!

    Hi @draymond11 ,

     

    You could delete all the rows in the table before add rows from the list to the table.

     

    Please make sure the value of Key column would be unique in th excel table.
