How to get data from multiple worksheets in one excel file?

[Nancy1]

Hi,

Recently I got a question when I build a flow. When I got a new excel file in SharePoint documents, I will read the excel data and then integrate with old data. However, some people will upload an excel with multiple sheets, how could I classify the sheet what I need? For example, there are more than three worksheets in excel, "Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3" and "Sheet4". I only need the data from "Sheet1" and "Sheet3".

Hi @Nancy1 ,

I am afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in Microsoft Flow currently.

There is no action about select a worksheet.

However, you can use the 'List rows present in a table' action to select the table from the worksheet you want.

For example, on my side, the Table1 and Table2 are in Sheet1, Table3 is in Sheet2.

I think I have found the solution. use "Sheet1!A1:Sheet!Y10"

Sheet1!A1: Sheet1Z1

Maybe the topic is not actual, but for anyone who will face the same issue.

Reference to sheet as Sheet1! didn't help me. But using desktop PA, it can be achieved by activating sheet you want to read from.

Power Automate desktop Read data from Excel activity reads data only from active sheet.

So first you should Set worksheet you want as active.

To set it as active you should specify it by index (starting from 1), or by sheet name.

If you do not know names, you can also Get all worksheets beforehand.
Hope it helps.
