hi @Kamacete  you are doing well, just you need to add filter to get only the values that you want. Please try with adding a condition list rows present in a table to do the filter and then inside the yes part you can add that rows into your excel.

@Kamacete  sure please see the exampel bellow

data.PNGdata1.PNG

 

so as you see you can use a condition to filter the data you want to pass to another excel, in my case the data started with C, beouse you can't just define what rows you need to copy you need a condition to define that.

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for your support. I tried but didn´t work.

 

What I need is: I have a file (test 1) with 5 columns where I put data constantly and I need to update another file (test 2) automatically per hour with all the information of 3 columns (columns 1, 3, 5).

 

[File Test 1]

mmm  @Kamacete  it looks like the file is corrupted.

 

I suggest you to create a new file, with a new table just the destination file.

Hi @Kamacete ,

 

Your flow is correct with no problem.

I'm afraid that there is any problem in your excel table.

Please take a try to create the new excel tables and then create a new flow, then run the new flow again to see if the issue still exists.

 

Best Regards,

Alice
