Add & Update Excel Table Row from SharePoint List | Power Automate Tutorial

[@asam]

Thank you so much for sharing this. This video about sharing to Excel and the other video sharing from Excel is golden! I learned SO much.

[@adityapadmawar8754]

This video is very helpful. Thank you so much. Your narration is on point. Keep creating such content

[@RohanKohli-t8n]

This was very helpful! I was successful in connecting the SharePoint list to the Excel online, but every time I modify/ add an entry to the Sharepoint list, it adds multiple rows (100+) rows of the same entry into Excel. Is there any way to limit that? I want it to add 1 entry in Excel.

[@joanitaawlime9269]

I loved this video it really hit on what I was looking for

[@uARamboGS]

Thank you very much. This video helped me alot. This runs smooth but i've got one small problem. Is there a possibility to delete the row in excel, when the sharepoint list element is deleted? The flow works only if an element is added or updated. It would help me alot.

[@SkyAviatorr]

Thanks Bro keep sharing❤

[@eaindra6711]

Thanks you for your sharing. I solved the issue of automate of my project with your video help. It was really helpful ^^.

[@sedman5179]

On the money for the topic choice. Like your approach, explanation and solution, thanks….

[@kellylieu9671]

Thank you for sharing, great tutorial. Question, when I delete an existing value in one column from my SharePoint list, the flow reads “null” as input for that column, but that same existing value in Excel does not get deleted. Would you suggest any solutions?

[@shellyjean6439]

Awesome tutorial! It worked for my needs perfectly. Thank you for the details and excellent explanation.

[@ciannamaria]

Hey so thank you for a great video. I was wondering if you know how to manage data when a collum containd multiple date input in a sharepoint list without getting the loop for each one?

[@LernenTech]

will cover this one as well in upcoming videos

[@jdduf]

Thank you so much for the video! Hoping you can advise on another step…let’s say that after your rows were added/updated in Excel, you wanted to only keep the rows that had a certain department ID (and delete the rest). Can you recommend a flow for that?

[@LernenTech]

will try to create a dedicated flow for that

[@ubm-yaco]

@@LernenTech any update on that flow? I had a condition to only add rows in column value had yes. It was working fine, however, about a week ago, it started create duplicate entries every time the record is updated.

Great Job Thanks for sharing awesome material, quick question if we are using a sharepoint list that has picture columns, how it would be the process to export them as well, I used your instructions but I was not able to see the picture columns when adding the rows, Keep it up the great work sharing this awesome content to us, I really appreciate it Thanks a million

Can you please share how we can get the values from Sharepoint into Excel if the Sharepoint column allows multi-select choices?

Hi @Lernen Tech.. Thank you for this video.. I keep getting an error - "The input parameter(s) of operation 'Condition_1' contains invalid expression(s). Fix invalid expression(s) for the input parameter(s) of operation 'Condition_1'. I get the option to use output "@empty(outputs('Filter_array')['body/value'])", instead of what you suggested.. Would you be able to help please? Thanks.. "

[@alineruiz8090]

This was really helpful!! Thanks a lot

[@JacobPruet]

Great video and perfect for what I need, however, I tried to modify the trigger to be a recurrence, but now it is not recognizing the filter array. It keeps returning all of the items. I made sure to change the trigger outputs to get_items. The flow works, but it doesnt process the filter array correctly. Any suggestions.

[@RuSalas]

Great Video, Question: using larger sharepoint list with multiple columns, I'm getting Apply to each when I add some values to the final step - Yes or No areas.. The flow runs but nothing goes to excel.

[@adamosovsky8672]

Thanks for the help! only issue is that when I create a new item, the flow adds that item into the excel sheet as well as adds existing rows again. How could I fix this?

[@Johnny_Dyslexic]

Thank you!

[@Gaurangg09]

Very crisp info.. Can it be possible to move data to excel in document library from SharePoint list when excel is password protected?

[@danielmacias5880]

Hi, thanks for this video, but i did the same you explained but the filter array always validate that theres is no ID number so even when is already o the excel add new item on it so it duplicate the row. Do you know why this could happend?

[@arielenglis5589]

Nice 👍🏻

[@lobnaamer7440]

Great, great video and great, knowledge rich channel! Question; what happens if we add columns to the SharePoint List?

[@LernenTech]

good question, you will have to map that using flow

[@tenisharamcharan5026]

Any ideas why at step 2 for listing the rows present in the table my sharepoint site won't show up

[@SanjeetShrestha-nj9xq]

I used thse same flow but I ma getting duplicated entries for every new item added on a SP list. i flow is an automated flow when an item is created only. Any suggestions

[@kapilrajan-b4f]

Hi, I have question here. If I'm working in an org the share point site should be company one. So if I start the flow it will show Invalid connection adn update your connection to load complete details..What should I suppose to do?

What if you delete a row on SharePoint list will it delete the row on excel?

[@arielenglis5589]

Hi, Is there a fix on the problem where it creates a new row instead of updating the existing row that was edited in sharpoint?

[@jdparden]

I'm having the same issue. Did you get this resolved? I'm starting to wonder if it is an issue with the sharepoint setup on my side...

[@arielenglis5589]

@@jdparden This solution is coming from Kristel Van Uffelen on the comment section below. In the "list rows present in a table step" of this automate. Click the Menu for this list or the three dots. Then select settings. Under the pagination section change the threshold to 5000. This helped with sort this out. Hope this will help you.

[@goldcarps]

Your excel table have 6 columns mapped from SharePoint list. If I includes extra columns in the same excel table for calculations will the flow worked. Please advise me Thanks.

[@LernenTech]

flow will work but will not include extra column, for that you will have to map it

[@HollyIsBest]

Hi there, I'm having the same issue with duplicating rows and the threshold tip in the comments doesn't work. Could it be to do with the conditional formatting step? The flow always goes to Yes 'create new row' even if an item has been updated (rather than created new), but I don't know how to fix this.

[@alyoshaferris1799]

Having the same issue did you find a resolution for this

[@HollyIsBest]

@@alyoshaferris1799 I did! Can’t remember exactly how now but maybe follow what mine looks like now: make sure the Filter array is like this: From: outputs(‘List_rows_present_in_table’)?[‘body/value’] item()?[‘ID’] is equal to string(triggerOutputs()?[‘body/Title’]) Then under Condition: empty(body(‘Filter_array’)) is equal to false

[@fura999]

For me it's not working, something is wrong in "if condition" or in filter array because every time i get the same value(regardless if row exist or not). I spotted in filtter array i have a body/value instead of value is it ok?

[@oddysays4503]

Is it possible to do this from Excel to Excel? To effectively create a back up of an item if it gets deleted? I did it from Excel to List - Which works but takes a long time to complete. So thinking maybe this is quicker?

yes you can

I am new to SharePoint. I didn't quite understood the steps. Can you please explain how did you import the excel file in SharePoint and also do we need to manually create fields in excel ?

[@azamatbekzhanov]

Yes, you need to manually create fields in Excel. To be precise, you need to create a table. You do not have to import the Excel file to Sharepoint. You can use OneDrive as well, it depends on you.

After a few hundred lines, it creates duplicate in my Excel. As if it doesn't search the IDs in the Excel anymore, and just create a new case ! My coworkers modify entries all the time. We have 3000 lines in my Sharepoint List. What can I do ?

[@flammebeauregard8358]

@Lernen Tech : you love the fact is not working?

[@kristelvanuffelen6103]

Maybe you can change the settings in the 'List rows present in a table' step ? You can access via the 3 dots on the right and set 'pagination' on and 'Treshold' to a value higher than the number of rows your Excel will have. Only a newbie, found this tip somewhere online and It worked for me.

You are using the wrong item. You need to use the item named with "VALUE" in the end. Then you only get the value that has been chosen.
