Hi,
I have been facing issues with my flow with excel connector. My requirement is to look for column status='Requested' then pick the rows and insert into SQL table. The changes I make in excel are not synced immediately, sometimes its taking few hours.
Ex: When I add the status as 'Requested', Save and close the excel, Flow is not picking that row immediately. sometimes it takes minutes and sometimes hours. Please help.
Hi @papp ,
I have made some tests on my side, it doesn't has the issue you have mentioned.
I have made a flow for your scenario, please check it for a reference.
When I add a row with the Body column as 'Requested', the flow can pick it immediately.
I suggest you check the output of the 'List rows present in a table' action to see whether it can pick the new row each time.
Or you can add a 'Delay' action in the flow for a try.

Hi v-zhos-msft,
Thanks for your reply. One thing is, excel file is in my one drive. The changes made to the excel are not picked by the flow, It is picked only after few hours. Not sure if this is something wrong with the flow or Onedrive sync.
The Excel connectors have extremly stringent limitations, which is why they generally aren't recommended by Flow experts. I've highlighted the main concerns below:

Hi @papp ,
As you said, the excel file you used is in one drive.
So the change of the file need some time to sync.
You need wait the file status to be ready, then run the flow.
