"Add a row into table" in Power Automate is not working.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying since 2 hours to send my data from an online form to a spreadsheet i created.

I did that a couple of times in the past already and know how it works. But here it just wont work.

It's working all fine till until I have to enter the name of the table. I cannot find the tables of the spreadsheet as the drop down menu is empty.

I know that problem. In the past i had trouble with that. But it mostly works when you manually enter the name of the table of the spreadsheet. Mostly called Table1.

But here it is not working.

I tried to rename, reload in other spaces, use other browser. Restart everything.

Might someone have a clue about how that may work?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Unfortunately excel connector has some limitations on dynamic content.
Please check your excel spreadsheet again to confirm it indeed does have a table.

Hi,

thanks for your message.

What do you mean by limitations? What exactly is limited?

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

When configuring actions related to the Excel Online connector, we need to select an Excel file and Table from the File browse and drop-down lists.

Entering the path or table name manually does not work. In the insert row action included in the old version, we could do manual input parameters, but now it is impossible to configure these parameters dynamically.

First, make sure that the table is defined in your Excel file, then you can try to update the Excel Online (Business) connection and reconfigure Add a row into a table action.

Please also refer to the link below for more details about the Excel Online (Business) connector:

Is it possible to first query the tables in the file, and then pass the ID of the table instead of the name as a dynamic parameter ?

Hope there is someone here that can help me with the following issue: I created a flow to list calender events and add them into a table. The flow works as expected but does not add any items into the excel table. What am i missing ?

[Yrrah]

Ok..found out what i was missing. Nothing actually but i forgot that my table already had a lot of empty rows and did not realize that rows where added in the last row :-(....Sorry

The OP here and the info about data "List Rows Present In Table" discussed here, seem to suggest that there could be delay between when you define (ask a Flow to connect to a spreadsheet table) and when usable information from the table are finally available in the Flow's dynamic data to choose from. 

I recently modified columns in a spreadsheet table and still waiting for the new options to appear in a new Flow I'm creating.   The only option shown in the connector block for data is a field for "Raw inputs".  Can anyone confirm this behavior and is there any way to force the "Add a row into a table" connector to get updated data?

[Nicer_Atl]

For what its worth, I was able to work past my issue by deleting and recreating the Flow's "Add a row into a table" Action.

The entire Flow was copied from another Flow linked to another spreadsheet. Therefore it was apparently not enough to just update the Action.  I guess I wasn't really creating a new flow from scratch as I may have eluded to.

I am having the same issue as the OP. I have a spreadsheet in a channel named PVA data, in a file named unrecognized phrases. When I load the dynamic content on the excel online connector it only loads the team, after I select the correct team my channel "PVA data" doesn't populate under browse files. None of the channels are actually coming up not even the default "General" channel. We have a few dozen channels in this group so I'm not sure why it is saying "no items".

@Kog8790 it doesn't look like your problem is the same as the OP.  You aren't able to even see the spreadsheet while the OP just wasn't able to see the table within the spreadsheet. 

Your problem seems to be one of access to the channel's resources.  You say the name of your channel is "PVA data", but the screenshot you show seems to point to a different channel name (Location).   I believe the channel name is the Location.

Hi Gents,

Looks like I have a similar issue and am not sure how to fix it.

I'm working on a flow to filter an excel report by a column, and copy all the data for the filter in a new workbook, named the filtered column. I was able to create the flow and filter data accordingly however I'm not able to copy all the data in the new workbook.

Here the flow runs successfully, 

All the data is filtered accordingly by the Location manager column.

The issue appears here where the data in the table once copied appears to be blank.

This is how the flow looks:

And this is how the file gets created if in the "Create File" as File content I will use the Outputs from "Filter using each FSL" 

Here the flow will run to long and will continue to add blank rows in the file.

If I will use the Output from the "File Content" all the files gets created however with only one blank row in the table.

Can someone please help with this?
