Add multiple rows to a table in excel

[BeckyC]

Hi

Is there any way to add more than one row at at time to a table in excel?

Here is what I have - I'd like to have one row with customer name and then another line right under it with the customer number. If I can add more than one, what would I use as a separator?

Thanks

Becky

{
  "Label": "Customer Name",
  "Info": @{triggerOutputs()?['body/CustomerName']}
}

Hi @BeckyC,

Add a row into a table action only support add one row into the table once run, not support add multiple rows at the same time.

If you want to add multiple rows to the excel table, you could initialize an array variable to store data you want to add, then use Apply to each + add a row into a table action to do it, for example:

Hi @v-litu-msft 

I tried the solution above but i am getting error The variable 'Array' of type 'Array' cannot be initialized or updated with value of type 'String'. The variable 'Array' only supports values of types 'Array'.

i initialised the variable Array with below value:

[

{
"Product Name": "Delta",
"Year-1": variables('ProductsArrayY1')[0],
"Year-2": variables('ProductsArrayY2')[0],
"Year-3": variables('ProductsArrayY3')[0],
"Year-4": variables('ProductsArrayY4')[0],
"Year-5": variables('ProductsArrayY5')[0]
},
{
"Product Name": "Zeta",
"Year-1": variables('ProductsArrayY1')[1],
"Year-2": variables('ProductsArrayY2')[1],
"Year-3": variables('ProductsArrayY3')[1],
"Year-4": variables('ProductsArrayY4')[1],
"Year-5": variables('ProductsArrayY5')[1]
},
{
"Product Name": "Atos",
"Year-1": variables('ProductsArrayY1')[2],
"Year-2": variables('ProductsArrayY2')[2],
"Year-3": variables('ProductsArrayY3')[2],
"Year-4": variables('ProductsArrayY4')[2],
"Year-5": variables('ProductsArrayY5')[2]
}

]

Found the solution 

[

{
"Product Name": "Delta",
"Year-1": @{variables('ProductsArrayY1')[0]},
"Year-2": @{variables('ProductsArrayY2')[0]},
"Year-3": @{variables('ProductsArrayY3')[0]},
"Year-4": @{variables('ProductsArrayY4')[0]},
"Year-5": @{variables('ProductsArrayY5')[0]}
}

]

Having a wierd issue when trying to recreate this. It seems to be working fine and the input log all looks good but on the excel sheet I am only seeing empty rows being added. Could be relevant that the "apply to each" action is being called in a switch case.

Array declaration:

[

  {

    "Required Access Right": "Advanced Find User"

  },

  {

    "Required Access Right": "All Staff"

  },

  {

    "Required Access Right": "Advanced Find User"

  },

  {

    "Required Access Right": "All Staff"

  },

  {

    "Required Access Right": "Advanced Find User"

  },

  {

    "Required Access Right": "All Staff"

  }

]

Input log from one of the row adding actions after test:

{

    "host": {

        "connectionReferenceName": "shared_excelonlinebusiness",

        "operationId": "AddRowV2"

    },

    "parameters": {

        "source": "sites/company_name_removed_for_anonimity",

        "drive": "b!a1NxJql1KUuI3gPt_dNfS7eoonavXEJIohOx5JUncCDxMYfU-rB9RpdvgEvggm-p",

        "file": "/Shared Documents/General/Temp/Mitch Cowell123 New Starter.xlsx",

        "table": "{10D46297-E8F3-4192-B232-18502F3D5E3F}",

        "item": {

            "Required Access Right": "All Staff"

        }

    }

}
