You have all the data available and you now need to insert a number of rows. Imagine if you have a product order and multiple products are ordered. This is the first part of updating rows of data. Where earlier we saw that the values were set to "values": you will need to specify data fro each row and column as shown below. So if the range covers a rectangle of 5×7 then the data specified for the values, numberFormats and formulas also needs to be 5×7. range(address='E7:K10')Īn important thing to note is that the body now needs to match the shape of this range. Rather than updating a single cell you will now have to update the URI to update a range using the following syntax. The update of multiple rows is fairly similar as a single cell. This can be a copy of the value as shown above, but it could also be something like =B4 Update multiple cells Then finally the formulas section contains any calculations that you may need to do. I found creating an excel with these formats used and the getting the data from a cell range gave me the exact format that I would have to use for each cell. You can use the following number formats for all Excel supported formats: The number formats are an array of numberFormats. Just supply the value that you want to appear in the field.
Now we should have a more details look at the body. The name of the excel file that I am accessing is made up of a combination of customer name and issue number. This way i can update 1 or more cells in exactly the same way.įirst of all I will call the following end point: '-', outputs('Input')?, '.xlsx')}:/workbook/worksheets('Sheet1')/range(address='E7') I’m going to use the range end points to do this. There are a few different ways that you can update a cell. Using the id returned by the above action we can now get the details for the document library where our Excel file is stored. Note that we are using the access token earlier retrieved from MS graph. To get the site id for the team site that I’m interested in I use the following endpoint. Update a single Excel cellīefore we can update a cell or a range will will need to collect some details of the site and the library that we want to work with. Before the flow gets the file by using a filter query. Then as the file has been created the update file properties will set the name of the file. Not that in my requirements I want to overwrite any possible existing files with the same name. The create file has run after settings configured so that the file will be created even if the file deletion failed. Then I will delete an existing file, so that the file can be created. In the above steps I’m first collecting the file content from the template file. In my case I put the Template file in a SharePoint Document Library and I put the resulting Excel files in a different library.įor most cases the following 5 steps will work. The next step is to create a copy of the Excel template file to create our unique Excel spreadsheet. Then within my flow I will convert this text to json using the json function as shown below: json(triggerBody()) Copy an Excel template file to a new Excel file When I call a Flow from Power Apps I like to pass in all my data as a single text parameter. Start when a button is pressed in Power Apps You could get rid of this and use the access token from the dynamic content instead. I’m doing this mainly for debug purposes. The code in the URI looks like this: the body look like: the now i put the Access token returned into a compose box. Then the Get access token will be configured as shown below I always put these actions inside a scope box, so that it becomes easy to understand what the combination of boxes does in Power Automate. So that you can use the Client ID, Tenant ID and Secret to access you MS Graph from Flow. You will need to create an App registration in Azure. I wrote of this before, in earlier posts about reading from Excel. Copy a Excel template file to a new Excel file.Looking at all the things that I need, i have the following requirements. Then I use standard actions to turn a Excel template stored in SharePoint or OneDrive to an Excel file. MS Graph is fast and once you understand how it works it even becomes easy to use. I’m going to split up all the requirements into smaller requirements.įor a lot of the work I do with Excel files I use Microsoft Graph. There are a couple of things that we first need to have a look at. Copy an Excel template file to a new Excel file.Start when a button is pressed in Power Apps.
