Delete Excel rows 1 and 3

Posted on by Sormick 566
Helllo,
 
This is the first time i'm using the Delete a row element in power automate.
I have difficulties to understand the Key column and Key value fields.
My excel table has been generated automatically with a flow after uploading multiple workbooks.
I need to delete the rows 1 and 3 of all uploaded workbooks. 
How to proceed with this?

    i have a loop that creates a record in salesforce, updates a column then copies that copy to a new "Complete" table, and then deletes it off the "Open" table.

    But to answer specifically. the Key column is the column used to identify the records. then the Key Value is the one of the record you want to use.
     
    so for example lets just say you have a column called Account Number (which is unique values as it has to be unique or you wont get the exact record you want)
     
    The Key Column is saying, check the Account Number.

    Then the Key Value is the value of the record you want. so if it is account ABC123 then that specific row is found and deleted.

    For you, depending on the flow you will need to find a way to identify the records you will remove. you might have to "List Items" or "Get Item" and then use that value in your delete row.

    If its always changing you need to think about the logic. ive never tried to delete a static row 1 and 3.  in the end it would be like. get value from A1 and A3 - delete using key column A and kye value A1 and A3.

    Cheers
