I have a series of one time use codes in an Excel file hosted on OneDrive that I need to provide to users in our organization as requested. I am building a flow such that once an MS Form response is received, I would like to:
1. Get the next available (unused) code from column A and use it as dymanic content in an email
2. Update the row value for column B with the form respondent's email address, as taken from dymanic text of the form.
I've got the form response trigger done, and an email prepared with everything but the code value (from step 1). I have no Idea how to do the work on the Excel side to get the value from A or populate the value in B.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @jogilvie,
Could you please share more details about the Excel file which is hosted on OneDrive?
Does the Excel file have a table and have only one rows for it?or if the excel table have many row,which row you want to have operation on it?
I have made a test on it, you could refer to screenshot below to create the flow:
Note:
The Condition in my flow is to get only one row which I want to have operation on.
Best regards,
Alice
Hi Alice,
My Excel file has a table with 5 columns.
Column A: a series of row values representing available license codes available to students
Column B: currrently empty. Will contain student first names
Column C: currently empty. Will contain student last names
Column 😧 currently empty. Will contain student ID numbers
Column E: currently empty. Will contain student email addresses
My flow currently populates dymanic content from a MS Form, with survey respondent informaiton forming the data I would like to populate in columns B-E. What I am hoping to do is have the flow identify the next available code (i.e. no values in cols B-E), then return the code value back to the flow for integration as text in an email. I would then like to populate the appropriate row values for that code at columns B-E.
I've got the flow to parse out the respondent information and create the email with all but the appropriate code, so the Excel work in the middle is my stumbling point.
Hi, @v-yuazh-msft
I have the same question.
How do I update the flow, if I have list of rows with available (unused) codes, so that when the form is filled the next time I get the next available code? I need column with unused codes as auto-number the "Number" column but with increment last number like NUM0001, NUM0002
Thanks for help
