If you found this video helpful check out the video I uploaded today on how you can automate creating a table in Excel using the Run Script action in Power Automate! If you import data from Excel to SharePoint often-this will be a time saver!

Great video. This is going to help a ton of people!

[@acreativeopinion]

Thank you!

Your content is always helpful! Get file properties has helped me with (later in the flow) referencing a worksheet and table names. This way a flow can cycle through a workbook without having to hardcode the table or worksheet names. The one that throws me off is when a table has no data (for a filter query to apply to), or when a random worksheet has no tables (eg. worksheet 1 & 3 have tables but not 2).

Thanks for watching! I just uploaded a video that covers how to create a table using a script in Excel and running that script from within Power Automate 👉 czcams.com/video/GNLhPqP1cjM/video.html. You might find it helpful for your scenario.
Let me know if that helps or if you have any more questions! I'd be happy to try and help you troubleshoot your issue.

Great video once again. Is there a way to link the excel to the list, so it uploads new lines or amended items?

[@acreativeopinion]

Thanks for watching! There isn't a single action that would do this. You would need to build a flow that would check your file and cross reference it against your items in SharePoint. I cover how to do that in the first section of this tutorial: czcams.com/video/HVAf1aTEQNg/video.html
