Flow not showing my excel column.

I have a manual flow that I would like to read two columns on a spreadsheet and matching the first column to the Sharepoint Column add a numeric value to another column but I cannot get the update item to show the Excel Value as a selection.

My Flow is as follows:

    Hi @jamescosten ,

     

    I've noticed the same issue today. Maybe it's another bug from the New Designer...

     

    An alternative for that is to click in the expression button (Fx):

    And then select the "Dynamic content" tab:

    There you will find all Excel column references. After select the desired one, click "Add", and the problem is solved 🙂

     

    If you still cannot find the column in the dynamic content list, use the following expression: item()['your_column_name'], just replacing the text in red for your actual Excel table column name:

    Additionally, to learn more about expressions in Power Automate, refer to this blog post: http://digitalmill.net/2024/02/27/writing-expressions-in-power-automate/ 

     

    Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
