    Thanks Reza, great video!!! In the case that you need to fill a complex template such as an invoice, maybe you can reference invoice template cells with the table cells. Or you have a better workaround?

    • @RezaDorrani
      @RezaDorrani  3 роки тому

      Not sure to be honest. It depends on where the data is coming from. Are you trying to extract data directly from an invoice document using AI Builder?
      Concept would be similar. Build the Select action and provide that to the pattern showcased in the flow.

    Hi Reza, thank you for this video. It was just about perfect for my project I was working on. I do have a question for you (or anyone else who has solved this): When the data is brought into the newly created Excel file (based on the template I have), it formats the Excel table with the default formatting. This does not look good or even fit with the rest of the template I have created. Is there a way of either a) pre-formatting an Excel table and inserting my data into that table, or b) formatting the table as it gets created inside my file? Thank you!

    Nice video Reza! I'm trying to create an Export to Excel feature within Canvas App that would only export the items in a gallery (even after the user filters that gallery; So, columns and rows they want to export to excel will change every time they filter the gallery). How do I approach this? Every tutorial I find wants me to decide the columns before-hand but I want to be able to let the user decide what data to be exported.

    • @RezaDorrani
      @RezaDorrani  2 роки тому

      Columns do not change when user filters a gallery. Only the row changes.
      There is no selector option for columns in power apps and that’s why there are no tutorials on it.
      I have a video coming out tomorrow that will showcase how to export large data. In there I also talk about exporting columns dynamically using list views. However here as well there would need to be some predefined views which have columns set for exporting. But at least it would give some level of flexibility.

    Hello Dorrani, I have created a schedule flow in Power automate that pulls data from one Excel sheet and then pastes it into another sheet. The flow looks like Recurrence>List rows present in a table>Add a row in a table. My flow runs monthly and works fine. My Excel sheet has 13 columns (Professor name, January, February, March........December). But the problem is In January, My flow runs and gives me January data. However, in February, it runs again and it gives me data for February along with January data. I just want new data, not the months that I have already in my sheet. Each month, my colleagues input data in a specific column. For example, , in January, my colleagues made sure which professor was present in that month and input Present/Absent in the January column. In February, she does the same thing for February. Now my manager wants to change my schedule flow in a way that will pull data each month once the data is inputted already and the data should not have any duplicates. Could you please tell me how can I do that in Power Automate?
