Power Automte create table in excel

Here we will see how to create the table in excel using Power Automate.

So I have an excel template called Product, which contains a certain range of content, that looks like a table but not a table, so basically we will refer to the data or content inside MS Flow and we will create an actual table in excel.

Before we start the flow, make sure you have saved this excel template in the SharePoint library or OneDrive for business.

Now let’s create a flow that will create a table in excel using Microsoft Flow

In Power Automate, select the Manually triggered Flow then click on the Next step.

Now to create a table in an excel file, select Create table -Excel Online Business action. Then Provide the Location, and Document library where you have saved the file. Choose the File from the Folder.

Now in the Table range, first we will provide the Sheet name i.e. Product, Column 1 which is A1, and then provide the last cell range E6, so our table range is Product!A1:E6.

At last, provide a table name and no need to provide a column name, if you provide the column name it will be overwritten with the existing column name.

Now click on Save and run the flow manually, you can see the table get created in Excel.
