Hi , Thank you for the great video, I was wondering if I can get any information about the excel file? for example, when the user clicks on the button and flow triggers I want to get the excel file path.

This is really good. I wonder if Microsoft is slowly waning us from VBA. You used to need to use VBA to do magical stuff like this.

Is there a way to trigger flow at certain dates? For example email the data every month

[@ronoc89]

Hi John, thanks for the content. I am looking to trigger a flow in the same way but I need to do it by row.

[@onatsworld9911]

Perfect! Thank you. Just a question; how can we send by email only some selected rows from our table?

[@mmbcampus]

Can we trigger a flow of power automate desktop from excel button?

[@ajbautista9895]

I tried this and it’s almost perfect. However, I noticed that the no. of emails being sent is equal to the no. of data in the table. Sample there are 4 filled out rows, it sends 4 emails. Is there a way around this?

[@madisoncountyboardofdd4441]

Hoping you still monitor this video. I created something similar and it works great the first run, but when I change my data and run it again, it's the same data from the previous run. It won't run correctly unless I clear my browser cache. Any suggestions? I've posted in Power Automate Community, but no takers yet.
