Add Columns to a excel spreadsheet

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I want to make an excel workbook that modifyies the columns beside on data that I send it from powerapps. For example runningSpeed:0, do not add a column called runningSpeed, if it was 1 then add a column called runningSpeed. Powerapps will send flow a list of constants that are zero or one, then flow will copy an excel template then flow will change that copy to show constants that had values of one. After flow had finshed modiying that copy of the workbook, flow would send it to a sharepoint site. 

 

This is a cool logically way of going around not having the option to delete columns from an excel workbook if they were blank (or zero in my case).

 

Please Help,

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Adding Columns to a excel spreadsheet that you mentioned is not supported in microsoft flow currently.

     

    If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    Alice

    As mentioned above, not something you can do in flow natively.  You can do it via Graph API though https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/excel?view=graph-rest-1.0
