Objectifs :
This tutorial aims to guide users on how to add content to an Excel file using Power Automate, specifically by listing files from a SharePoint library or a team's channel and storing this information in an Excel file for better organization and management.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Power Automate and Excel Integration
In this tutorial, we will explore how to effectively use Power Automate to add content to an Excel file. This process is particularly useful for listing files from a SharePoint library or a team's channel, allowing users to maintain an organized overview of their files. -
Setting Up the Instant Flow
To begin, select an instant flow that can be executed as needed. Instant flows can be triggered through the mobile app or directly from your list of Power Automate flows. This flexibility allows for on-demand execution whenever necessary. -
Adding SharePoint Action to List Files
Next, add a SharePoint action to list the files in a channel, team, or SharePoint library. Choose the 'Get Files' action and define the site or relevant team along with the library to focus the flow on a specific folder or channel. Enable advanced options to exclude folders and retain only file-type items. -
Specifying the Folder and Including Subfolders
In this example, we will limit the results to a specific folder named 'Training Folder,' which corresponds to the team's channel. Additionally, we will include files present in the subfolders of this channel to ensure a comprehensive listing. -
Choosing the Excel File for Listing
Select an Excel file to host the listing. Ensure that each execution creates a new worksheet by using the 'Create Worksheet' action. Specify the location and name of the Excel file, which will be stored on your OneDrive, and define the sheet name using a Power FX function that includes the date and time of the export. -
Creating a Table in the Excel Workbook
Once the sheet is created, proceed to create a table in the same workbook. Specify the range of the table on the previously created sheet. Use dynamic content to retrieve the name of your sheet, ensuring the correct format with apostrophes and an exclamation mark followed by the range. -
Defining Table Structure and Populating Data
To accommodate varying numbers of files, create a table with one row and three columns. Customize the table name using Power FX and the 'Conca' function to ensure each table has a unique name. Define the names of the three columns, separated by commas, and prepare to populate the table with data. -
Implementing the 'Apply to Each' Loop
Generate an 'Apply to Each' loop to process each item related to the results of the 'Get Files' action. Include the action of creating a row from the Excel actions, specifying the target Excel file and referring to the previously created table using dynamic content. -
Writing Data to the Excel Table
In the JSON syntax, open a brace and refer to the field names in quotes, followed by a colon. For the name column, retrieve the full name of the file using dynamic content. For the second field, retrieve the storage folder, and for the third column, include the name of the last user who modified the file. -
Testing and Sharing the Flow
After saving and testing the flow, check the Excel file to confirm that a sheet has been created with a table hosting each file from your team's channel. To enhance usability, share the flow via Power Automate and add a workflows application tab in the team's listing to make it easily accessible. -
Conclusion
This flow successfully demonstrates the capabilities of Power Automate in conjunction with Excel. By following these steps, users can efficiently manage and organize their files, showcasing the potential of automation in everyday tasks.
