Email not populating to Excel

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6
Hello,
 
I am creating a flow to trigger when an Outlook email arrives and to extract its data to add a new row in Excel.  The email follows a standard template and format.
 
In the test runs when I send the email, it states successful but the Excel is not populating.  The location of my Excel file is in One Drive and there's a table in the sheet.  
 
 
I've added expressions for each column header for information to be pulled from the email body.  I also tested with the actual email information such as "From" and "subject" (without expressions), but the Excel is still not populating.  
 
 
Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    Hi,
     
    Can you please paste in your expanded Add a row into a table action?  If you cannot add even the from, subject, etc - as you said, the issue is not the expressions itself, but the add a row into a table action - I would like to see it (and the error).

    One thing need to know- did you write the expression just like as you have shown or written under as expression section to make work like expression ?
     
    Also if written as expression- so after running - have you checked add row action's output to see whether the values which it tries populate is having values ?
     
    Thanks & Regards,
