Thank you so much for this tutorial and the one about updating a sharepoint list using power automate so you don't have to copy cell by cell. Total lifesaver
Thanks, that's so helpful!! I have only one problem: the date field in Excel is not mandatory, and when it's empty, it causes an error. How to avoid this error? I've tried to apply the condition, but not sure how and when I should write the condition.. could you help with this, please?
Great help, your videos are very useful. If u can also share tutorial as to how to send emailer to employees post new item is updated in this process and another email post 30 days from joining date, it ll be very helpful
Thank you for your help! I need a similar flow to include or update more than 20,000 items, you mentioned at the end of the video, that you would do a next video to show how we can do this, do you have any plans to release? 😀
i am trying to do the same but the automate is able to check only for the first row in the excel file...i have 4 items in my excel and i see only first one being executed and the rest is not recognised and i have to do it via mannually.
Thank you so much for explain it deeply I used to have an issue in my flow every time I make the same flow and it never worked until you showed the date function trick
Is there a way to create a flow that would check if any document in a document library is modified, then add/update item to SharePoint list based on that? I plan to have 14 similarly named documents (with different last name appended at end), and would like to update a SharePoint list any time one of those documents is modified.
doesn't work for me. only works if I already have the ID in sharepointlist. But if my list is blank, it doesn't transfer the data from excel to sharepointlist
Hi there, I really need to use this solution, but in my test in the Condition section > If Yes and If no > Apply to each. When using value from Get Items it doesn't load any data to my sheet, and if I use the value from List Rows Present in Table it prints duplicates. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? for the Get Items I am using the title column as my ID is this causing the issue?
In addition to adding and modifying excel data, there are instances where I have rows . Could you add a step to this video to show how to delete a sharepoint row that no longer exists in the excel file? Thanks in advance
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm having a specific problem could you help me please? When running the flow in the conditional section of creating new items in shaire point a problem occurs. the flow says it completed successfully, however the data is not transferred to the shairepoint list. there are no error messages however, does not work to transfer new data to the list.
Hi Thank you this is exactly what I was trying to do.. But can you advise tell me how to include time? as I have a column Date - the field is display DateandTime. Thanks

is there a way to convert excel file dropped a folder to a list ? For example , when I upload an excel file in to a folder , i want those fields in the excel file to populate in a sharepoint list . Is that possible? As always thank you for your great videos!!
Nice video, only issue I have is, some reason table name does not pop up, I have tried giving table name but still table name does not show, any idea? Thank you
This isn't working for me. I am using the excel sheet of a form in sharepoint (Forms for Excel) since it automatically captures the name. When the form is updated, it is captured immediately in the excel sheet. When this is done, I want that information to go to a list. I have followed this video and a previous one. I can't get it to work. Please help!
Love this and thank you but I'm running into a slight problem where even though the flow is successful the create item does not seem to be triggered so no items are created?
@@JeromeKrehbiel Hi, I realised that by copying and editing another instance of this flow I may have got me apply to each out of order and confused it. It started completely fresh and it is working notwithstanding some date issues in excel which are nothing to do with this flow.
Me too... I even change the columns name to be the same as Lernen example and as I don't have Date field, I thought It'll be easier to make it work, with no success :(
Hi, After about a week of trying to get this to work properly, I've finally managed to get it functioning, but only to a certain degree. I am getting errors if one of the excel fields is blank, which then cancels the operation for that item. Does anyone know how to overcome this?
I have created a flow but it fails when the excel file have blank values for the columns formatted as Number and Date in the share point list. Please help me regarding this issue.
Thank you, This exactly what I was looking for. However, whenever an excel data is updated and a flow is run, the outcome is a new record/ row (as seen in the video) Can you please tell me, how to update on the existing row in SharePoint list.
I have watched and tried your method, but when I run my flow it duplicates each row by the amount of records in the excel sheet.. only on create, not update file. How do I get around the Apply to Each on create item?
@@LernenTech do you need to include an if statement in the addDays expression? I am trying this "if(empty(items('Apply_to_each')?[], ,addDays('1899-12-30',int(items('Apply_to_each')?[]),'yyyy-MM-dd'))" but get an invalid expression error :( Edit: needed to include a null; if(empty(items('Apply_to_each')?[],null,addDays('1899-12-30',int(items('Apply_to_each')?[]),'yyyy-MM-dd'))
@@Bren4000 thank you for solution but you missed a bracket on empty - if(empty(items('Apply_to_each')?[]),null,addDays('1899-12-30',int(items('Apply_to_each')?[]),'yyyy-MM-dd'))
InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Update_item' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'The template language function 'int' was invoked with a parameter that is not valid. The value cannot be converted to the target type.'.
In case you still need an answer to this try and change the expression to if(empty(items('Apply_to_each')?['YOUR DATE FIELD']),null,addDays('1899-12-30',int(items('Apply_to_each')?['YOUR DATE FIELD']),'MM/dd/yyyy')) and it should work then
Thank you for your effort but when I tried it like your steps it doesn't working because my date in excel sheet like this : 15/10/2019 how can I fix it without change date in my excel file. Thank you in advance.
Well, after a while I realized if you remove the 'Apply to each' part on the 'no' side of the 'Condition' and just keep the 'Create item' w/o the 'Apply to each' then it works.
