Hi all
I have defined a very simple Flow#1 that is executed manually from Sharepoint when I select an Excel file in a Library. I am using Excel (Business) operations to list the rows from a table.
When executing it an error message in displayed
Action 'List rows present in a table' failed
Fix It
If this error was temporary, you can try resubmitting the run and the issue may have been resolved.
Error type
This action failed because of an error in the connector.
Error Details
The error message from the service is below. This maybe useful for support:
BadGateway
This Excel (Business) action block is working fine in another flow (Flow#2) with the same connector. Also in Flow#1, both Excel (Business) and Sharepoint connectors, I am using the same corporate user. Can both connectors be used in the same flow? Is there any incompatibility between them?
Suggestions, welcome
Thank you in advance!

Hi @ efialttes,
Microsoft flow support to select a file from the picker in the "Excel (Business)" connector currently.
Choosing a dynamic content in the "File" field to select a file is not supported in Microsoft flow "Excel (Business)" connector currently.
Although the inputs on both action "List rows present in a table" blocks are apparently the same,the inputs on select a file from the picker is a friendly format of the file identifier,you couldn't choose a dynamic content in the "File" field to select a file.
If you want to choose a dynamic content in the "File" field to select a file,I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.
If you would like this feature to be added in Microsoft Flow, please submit an idea to Flow Ideas Forum:

Hi again
I think I have identified the problem
I have updated my flow by adding a new "Excel (Business) List rows present in table" action block.
I call this second action block "List rows present in table 2" and add it just before the first one. When executing it, the following result is displayed:
Both action blocks use the same connector, both of them target the same excel file, so the problem is not there. What's the difference between them?
In the one that works fine I select "File" input from the picker, so I navigate through the directories and choose the target file. I select "Table" input from the dropdown menu.
In the one that fails, I fill "File" input with Dynamic content. Also I fill "Table" input with a custom value.
Please also note the inputs on both action blocks are apparently the same:
The problem is, I want to "List rows present in a table" from the Excel file selected by the user on the SP Library, so I cannot implement the first "List rows present in a table" (the one that works); I need to the second "List rows present in a table" (the one currently failing).
Is this a bug? Cn you think of a possible workaround?
Suggestions, welcome
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your fast response, Alice
I've already posted a new idea. If someone reading it needs this new functionality, you can vote it here:
What if you are using the file picker and still get the BadGateway?:
Thanks @v-yuazh-msft @efialttes
This is not true. The Action "List rows present in a table" works fine with dynamic File Path. The problems you describe occurs only if you put your path together in the action itself. If you use a Variable that you define before the action it works fine.
@KarimH How did you initialize the variable FilePath? I see you used a split expression to generate the correct string but I am having trouble implementing this on my Logic app. Could you provide the method for obtaining the correct expression?
Many thanks,
-Sam
Hi Samlasota,
here is the expression for the split action:
split(split(variables('Thumb'),'items%2f')[1],'%3fversion%3d')[0]
I initialized the variable Thumb in a previous action with the file property "Thumbnail large"
I hope this helps
Karim Hamed
Just want to say that I used KarimH's method and IT WORKED. First initialize a variable that gets the value of Thumbnail Large. The name of this variable (for me) was "varThumb". Then initialize another variable for the File using this expression as the value:
@Anonymous
Hello I am trying to follow your flow. I ran into a problem at the List rows present in a table step. You said that the table populated automatically for you and I am not getting that option. Could you identify where I am going wrong?
@Anonymous I replied to the email I got with your question but I'm not entirely sure that will make it back to you. So, I would just ask if you've got your Excel data formatted in a Table. The rows and columns must be in a Table named Table 1.
@Anonymous Thank you for the quick reply, yes my data is formatted in an Table
hi @RachelRig,
Thank you for offering this solution! I will try it out quickly.
I have one more question related to your business case: my case is similar to yours but I have a standard Excel sheet containing different tables. From this, I always ONLY need to get Table1.
Power automate is reading all tables, and therefor runs in an error. Do you know how to make sure its always taking Table1 by default only?
thnx!
Janneke
Hi All,
I'm facing one issue while getting data out of Excel Online - "List all rows present in excel". I have 3 columns from excel which are coming out to be null but instead they do have values present with those particular columns. You can even see the values in the output of Excel Online -
I'm trying to get the values of these columns into compose but it's showing empty or null.
int(outputs('Compose')) - using this to convert the value to integer.
Output of Compose is showing as null.
Error;
Can anyone please help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance 🙂
was having the same issue and had a very hard time applying the work around above. in my desperation i found a much simpler solution that worked for me. I used the name property from 'Create File' and it worked
hope this helps.
