I will be the first to comment, haven't even watched the video yet. Confident that you always come through with the best step-by-step guided tutorials on the Power platform. 😀...
Absolutely phenomenal. I was building a flow to talk directly to Salesforce via their premium connector but it was such a heavy operation (s) to get all the values ,etc. Then realised I could use Excel to talk to a preconfigured report in sales force which would give me the values I needed without multiple lookups and then to use this file to update SharePoint. Your video could not have been posted at such an appropriate time. It's gonna save me days of figuring out stuff. And I learnt so many new things. You are a genius and I thank you for sharing your knowledge to bring the rest of us (ok I am referring to myself) to about 5% of your level !
II spent several days and several videos trying to find the solution to my problem and with you, no matter how long the video was, I managed to get my flow working. I really appreciate the time you spent explaining this task so well, thank you so much.
This is really great. Could you please create a seperate complete video around error handling. That would be really helpful. Once again thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I'm with you Akash! I'd love a deep dive into what is going on at the end.:) Thank you Reza for all that you do! You've taught me (us) SOOOO much! Thank YOU!
That magic of video editing that you do not have wait for delay action to finish running. BTW in my test tenant update file properties 2 action after 6 minutes delay ended with 400 error. Icreased the delay up to 10 minutes, flow ran successfully. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍
The video covers complex processes. Will require a number of views to even begin to grasp the subject matter covered. But if you are serious about automation this is a MUST VIEW video. Thank you Reza. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for this video, excellent work! I have a large excel file (4000+ rows) that would have taken several hours for this exact method to update every row each day. In my scenario, only a few dozen cells change each day in the Excel Spreadsheet, so not every one of the 4000+ rows really needed to update each day. As a solution, I created a Data connection in my Excel file which pulls down the SP List. Then I created 3 Merges in PowerQuery for Excel, which produced 3 separate Tables. One table contains items that need to be "Added to Sharepoint", another table contains items that need to be "Deleted from Sharepoint", and the 3rd table contains items which need to be "Updated in Sharepoint". From there I used the concepts in Reza's video to create 3 parallel branches of "Apply to Each" in PowerAutomate: "Create item", "Update Item", and "Delete Item". Only updating the rows where a change has been made has worked flawlessly and only takes about 4 minutes to run each day.
A lot to digest, but *extremely* helpful, thank you! I learned quite a bit in one sitting. I will have to play & pause to get some details right, but you have paced this in such a way that won't be as difficult to do. Thanks again for taking the time to create this.
This is really one of the most helpful tutorials on Sharepoint that I have seen. Thanks for all the incremental steps as well. It helps to prevent issues in my particular case, and I appreciate the clarity and excellent teaching.
Hi Rezza...thank you for posting this video. Creating the flow proved to be so efficient in inserting over 4000 rows of data from a spreadsheet to a list in SPO. Keep up the good work.
Extremely useful information. This is something that is needed in many scenarios for solutions built in SharePoint. There are some tricky things to address when moving the data. Thanks!
Really a gem Reza. Though it looks like a very simple and easy topic, I experienced that it is really very complex activity to import data from Excel to SP List. You have explained very complex part like adding multiselect choice fields, multiselect person field, date and time field with the classic workaround are really great. This I would say you demonstrated a complete solution all together. Thanks a lot as always 🙏🏻
Hi Reza, thanks for the quality content. Big fan of you. I have some suggestions like 1. Instead of adding 6 minutes delay, add "do untill" for file check out, if it fail I add 1 minute delay if success, go ahead. It will reduce flow run time. As files which are Not checked out need not to wait for 6 minutes 2. You have handled dates columns by converting to UTC and then again additional helper column in templates, I usually updates excel dates using addDays formula in flow to update sharepoint list which I found more convenient. Adding helper column may not be possible for many cases. Like My users get data from on premises application export to excel which is used to update SP List. 3. In your case as you are using templates so it will not be applicable in your used case , but I do check if excel file has table or not.
Thanks for watching & liking my videos. 1 - I believe the list rows present in a table action does lock file ASAP and that delay would be needed. However, no harm in checking file lock status every minute. A better approach would be to let all files process and then at the end wait for 6 minutes and update status of each file. 2 - You could do those calculations in flow as well. The goal of the video was to keep content to 100-200 level and there is a reason why I showcased things in a particular order :) 3 - Typically such scenarios do include a template with defined columns. I did a video on dynamic tables in excel. Check ua-cam.com/video/Kupz71dWYyY/v-deo.html
This is so great. At the end you talked about creating a success or failure log, and I wonder if there is another video showing how to do that? Thanks again for great content.
I do not have a specific video reference on that. Idea would be to add error handling to the actions using (configure run after) to track items which passed vs failed and accordingly log them in a list or excel file.
Thank you, Reza, for such a wonderful video. I would like to learn more about setting up the Failure Log step-by-step. Wondering if there is a video on that topic. Thank you.
Super video. Even though I have been using Excel connectors for the past couple of years, there’s no always some details in your videos that helps me to increase the flow performances. Thanks Rezza
Hi Reza, first let me thank you for your exceptional videos. I’ve learned so much just by following your examples.

Amazing solution. Excellent explaination. There is one topic missing - how would you delete SharePoint entries which are not available in the Excel spreadsheet?
Thanks. For that you would want to set a flag(column) of past items in excel that you would want to delete. Read those excel rows and delete them from SharePoint.
These are the kind of channels I subscribe to. This was simply brilliant!!! Thank you. Now where is that bell notification I need to stay tuned to all you future videos.
Thanks so much for this video. You explained very well and allowed me to help me provide an over 4000 line list to an app that we are using to search for parts. GREAT JOB!!!!
This video is wonderful and helped so much! Quick question, do you have another video about the logging results section you showed in the last few minutes of it? It looks like exactly what I need for my failures but I can’t figure out how you did it. If you don’t have a video for it, do you have any recommendations for where I might be able to find more information about how you did it?
I do not have another video reference for it. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Hi reza! This is sooo great! Been watching your tutorials!!! however, i am working on the approvals of newly created and tagged as specific status "for approval" on files saved in the sharepoint library. from there, I need to get the list of all the files tagged as for approval by creating items in the sharepoint list - I tried creating a table inside the files and get the data to be used in the sharepoint list. However, I am really having a hard time connecting your tutorial on the approval workflow and this one - to get the data from excel to sharepoint list. I so much appreciate your help on this! thank you so much in advance!
Thank You! You scenario of approvals on library and tying it to a list is not something I have tried or have a video reference for. I will recommend posting or checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Hola Reza, pero que excelente tutorial siguiendo tus videos he podido aprender mucho sobre powerapps y power automate gracias por compartir tu conocimiento y explicar tan bien!
Fantastic video Reza. Thank you very much - I built 2 such flows. 1 flow it works perfectly for me. Another flow has additional columns that need to be updated. When I run the flow, 2 fields from excel (which are populated and are in same format as others), dont show up on the list. They show up as null value. I have checked the settings, excel and other things that I could have thought of. NOt sure why things are not working.
Most welcome. I have not come across the mentioned issue and hence not sure what the cause could be. I recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
WOW! Best setup explanation E.V.E.R. Thanks Reza, you delivered it in a simple, easy to understand way in describing the nomenclature and syntax. I learned about a lot of other facets to data connections.
Thank you Reza for the insightful step by step video. It was a life savior. I have a query- in my dataset I have an image column too in the excel. The images are inserted into excel sheet. While running the flow power automate is getting the value of the image. Could you please tell how the images should be inserted into excel so that SharePoint is able to read them and display it?
I do not have a video reference on image scenario and would have to try it out to know more about it. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Thanks for this video, it's very complete. I'm wondering if the 6 mins delay is also needed when I move files from the initial folder to another folder (for example having a folder per status instead of a column) ?
Amazing video for someone new to power automate! Was able to create new so easily! Thank you! One Question… for the list create item or update condition - can the update excel template only contain a specific column you want updated? Along with the UID so it can match?
Hey Reza. Amazing video for imports. thanks for all the educative content. I'm trying to import items from an excel into a list, but I'd like to set the "created date" in the list to something specific, not the actual date I'm doing the import. There seem to be some solution, but I can't seem to have them work. Would you be able to help with a tutorial? Thanks a LOT!
You're most welcome. I believe there are SharePoint rest api endpoints which allow to set system columns like created date. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Thanks Reza for this great videos. Your videos are clear and easy to understand. I noticed that when the Excel column name has a "." it will not work. Example "Document No." . When I remove the "." it works ok. Is there a work around for this. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and liking the videos. Not sure of a workaround for this. Best would be to not use . in column name:) I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Hi Reza,thanks for sharing such as educated video here. I've followed all steps and not sure if I missed something, it successful but instead of update the data it is adding the same data that I have edited. Appreciate your help on this
Most welcome! I have not experienced the mentioned issue and hence not sure what the cause for it could be. I will recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
Hi Reza, this worked so well for me! Thank you for the step by step. It was very intuitive. I want to know if there is an ability to update the excel and it will modify the exisiting data in the sharepoint list? Basically, open up the excel and then sync with the SharePoint list data?
Reza - great job on content, structure and editing! Really the best I've seen on the topic. I don't know how many times I've watched portions of video now to help set up my first flows to have Sharepoint Lists function as filtered "mirrors" of excel workbooks. Did a bit of tweaking to your video as I didn't need to make uses of the dynamic portion. Has been helpful to use the lists to springboard with PowerApps to look up content. Well done! Question for you though - what would be your recommended methodology during the update item step (item already exists in Sharepoint list), that would only update fields that were changed, and leave the others alone. If nothing changed, would skip that item all together. I'm running the flow daily, and everyday it updates every item and every field whether or not there have been changes. Any guidance would be great!
Thanks for the awesome feedback! Update item step - To only perform an update if any change was made in excel, you would have to query SharePoint to grab that specific item and do a comparison of all the fields (a lot more work).
Good videos!! I was reviewing your previous videos and they helped me a lot thanks. Could you make a video where my power bi report is updated automatically every time a response is sent in forms using power automate? the flow would be this forms - excel - powerbi using power automate and maybe share point thank you very much.
I will add your video request to my backlog but will need a lot more folks requesting this topic to give it a higher priority. Meanwhile, I will recommend checking the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Simply spectacular! Is going to save me a bunch of time and energy. You have included multi-select columns (excellent!!) and also a Lookup Column (excellent!) - but there is one column type that I am struggling with that does not seem to be included here on this video (perhaps good for another video?) - and that is the combination of these two things - namely a Multi-Select Lookup Column. I have tried combining elements from both the multi-select column and the lookup column - but I seem to be failing..... Any chance of including one of those column types in this (or another video)?
Thanks Steve for the appreciation on the video. I have no plans for a follow up video specific to multi select lookup columns. I do not have a video reference on this scenario and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
@Reza, Excellent video, as always. I got a question about something I didnt understand: how does your Sharepoint doesnt get duplicates every time you run the same file?
Your demonstration was great! Can you assist in a question. One of my columns in my table I want to make as comments to each created item. How would I go about doing that?
Comments in SharePoint I assume, which is stored differently. I have not done a video on how to do that. I would need to try it out myself to know more about it. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Really appreciate your work ..i really like your videos samll question -Is there any way to load Excel data to SharePoint without creating any table in Excelsheet?
Thank you for this video, so much to learn. I haven't finished watching the video but would like to know the username that will be recorded in the "Created by" column of the sharePoint list.
Hi Reza, your videos are really great, I'm just starting with power automate and SharePoint. Your videos are very easy to follow, thanks a lot for that. Now, I have a job tracking list where I need to calculate a deadline for the recruiter on each position. I have a requisition date column and a Time to complete column, I can calculate the final date pretty straight forward, but I need to exclude sundays from the calculation. I've even found how to exclude weekends, but I need to exclude only sundays. I'm very confused on how to do that, any advise?

The video was super helpful and it helped me build the same for my work. Thank you so much for preparing and sharing the video.
You are most welcome!
Incredibly helpful! Awesome! I am new to power automate and this was such a thorough and detailed walkthrough. Thanks!
Great video, which solved all of my problems. Well, at least all of my Power Automate problems. 😀
Glad it helped!
Thank you Reza, for teaching us,
I want to perform this activity from Power App, using attached file,
Please help me if you have created any tutorial in past
Welcome!
I dont remember doing a video on that.
Amazing solution. Excellent explaination. There is one topic missing - how would you delete SharePoint entries which are not available in the Excel spreadsheet?
Thanks.
For that you would want to set a flag(column) of past items in excel that you would want to delete.
Read those excel rows and delete them from SharePoint.
These are the kind of channels I subscribe to. This was simply brilliant!!! Thank you. Now where is that bell notification I need to stay tuned to all you future videos.
Welcome aboard!
Reza, my hero. Again, this is exactly what I was looking for to solve a problem at work. Thanks!!!!
Awesome!
Thanks so much for this video. You explained very well and allowed me to help me provide an over 4000 line list to an app that we are using to search for parts. GREAT JOB!!!!
Glad to hear that! Thanks so much for watching.
Hello Reza,
Your videos have been so helpful to build Power Apps & Power Automate. Thanks So much
Glad to hear that!
This video is wonderful and helped so much! Quick question, do you have another video about the logging results section you showed in the last few minutes of it? It looks like exactly what I need for my failures but I can’t figure out how you did it.
If you don’t have a video for it, do you have any recommendations for where I might be able to find more information about how you did it?
I do not have another video reference for it. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Most useful... special for Lookup and all type column... Thanks Reza..
Most welcome!
as always, thank you very much for taking your time to record, explain, edit and share all this knowledge!
You are most welcome
Thank you for this awesome tutorial, Reza! You are awesome as per usual! ❤
You're most welcome and thank you for watching
Hi reza! This is sooo great! Been watching your tutorials!!! however, i am working on the approvals of newly created and tagged as specific status "for approval" on files saved in the sharepoint library. from there, I need to get the list of all the files tagged as for approval by creating items in the sharepoint list - I tried creating a table inside the files and get the data to be used in the sharepoint list. However, I am really having a hard time connecting your tutorial on the approval workflow and this one - to get the data from excel to sharepoint list. I so much appreciate your help on this! thank you so much in advance!
Thank You!
You scenario of approvals on library and tying it to a list is not something I have tried or have a video reference for. I will recommend posting or checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
wow most detailed sharepoint flow tutorial ever. thanks!
Wow! Thank You for watching.
You made my day! thanks for this great video Reza, greetings from Argentina😀
Happy to hear that! Have a great day!
And there I was thinking oh I know how to do that before watching the video lol, amazing content Reza!
Thanks for watching. I did a lot of research before making this video :)
I wanted to ensure I cover all bases.
Welcome to Reza University on Power Platform :), these are immensely helpful
Thanks Sandeep
Hola Reza, pero que excelente tutorial siguiendo tus videos he podido aprender mucho sobre powerapps y power automate gracias por compartir tu conocimiento y explicar tan bien!
bienvenido
Awsome work and as i said for your earlier videos, you are my best mentor for Power platform...😀😀😀
Glad to hear that
Fantastic video Reza. Thank you very much - I built 2 such flows. 1 flow it works perfectly for me. Another flow has additional columns that need to be updated. When I run the flow, 2 fields from excel (which are populated and are in same format as others), dont show up on the list. They show up as null value. I have checked the settings, excel and other things that I could have thought of. NOt sure why things are not working.
Most welcome.
I have not come across the mentioned issue and hence not sure what the cause could be.
I recommend posting your issue on forums in case someone has experienced something similar powerusers.microsoft.com
Wow. You covered a lot of subjects. Thank you for helping me to improve my skills
Thanks Anthony
WOW! Best setup explanation E.V.E.R. Thanks Reza, you delivered it in a simple, easy to understand way in describing the nomenclature and syntax. I learned about a lot of other facets to data connections.
Thanks for the awesome feedback. You are most welcome!
Thank you Reza for the insightful step by step video. It was a life savior. I have a query- in my dataset I have an image column too in the excel. The images are inserted into excel sheet. While running the flow power automate is getting the value of the image. Could you please tell how the images should be inserted into excel so that SharePoint is able to read them and display it?
I do not have a video reference on image scenario and would have to try it out to know more about it. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
very good example! I am looking for this since yesterday! thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video, it's very complete. I'm wondering if the 6 mins delay is also needed when I move files from the initial folder to another folder (for example having a folder per status instead of a column) ?
Not sure about the delay in your case. Give it a shot and see what it does.
Best tutorial on excel automation i've seen
Wow! Thank You!
Amazing video for someone new to power automate! Was able to create new so easily! Thank you! One Question… for the list create item or update condition - can the update excel template only contain a specific column you want updated? Along with the UID so it can match?
The excel template is what you define. You are free to include only columns which you want to update
Great work man as always!, one question, how can I only add newly added rows to List, not entire table.
Video shows how to add newly added rows to list.
Thank you Reza. Always great tutorial and easy to follow
Glad to hear that!
Hi Reza, this is awesome and helped me immensely! You rock!
Glad it helped!
Hey Reza. Amazing video for imports. thanks for all the educative content. I'm trying to import items from an excel into a list, but I'd like to set the "created date" in the list to something specific, not the actual date I'm doing the import. There seem to be some solution, but I can't seem to have them work. Would you be able to help with a tutorial? Thanks a LOT!
You're most welcome.
I believe there are SharePoint rest api endpoints which allow to set system columns like created date.
I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Thanks Reza for this great videos. Your videos are clear and easy to understand. I noticed that when the Excel column name has a "." it will not work. Example "Document No." . When I remove the "." it works ok. Is there a work around for this. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and liking the videos.
Not sure of a workaround for this. Best would be to not use . in column name:)
I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Hi Reza,thanks for sharing such as educated video here. I've followed all steps and not sure if I missed something, it successful but instead of update the data it is adding the same data that I have edited. Appreciate your help on this
Most welcome!

Thank you. This helped me. Exactly what I was looking for.
Great to hear!
Hi Reza, this worked so well for me! Thank you for the step by step. It was very intuitive. I want to know if there is an ability to update the excel and it will modify the exisiting data in the sharepoint list? Basically, open up the excel and then sync with the SharePoint list data?
There is no sync feature in excel for SharePoint. You will need to run flow again.
Great video as always. Lots of learning. Thanks for your efforts and time, very nice step-by-step presentation.
Many thanks!
Reza - great job on content, structure and editing! Really the best I've seen on the topic. I don't know how many times I've watched portions of video now to help set up my first flows to have Sharepoint Lists function as filtered "mirrors" of excel workbooks. Did a bit of tweaking to your video as I didn't need to make uses of the dynamic portion. Has been helpful to use the lists to springboard with PowerApps to look up content. Well done!
Question for you though - what would be your recommended methodology during the update item step (item already exists in Sharepoint list), that would only update fields that were changed, and leave the others alone. If nothing changed, would skip that item all together. I'm running the flow daily, and everyday it updates every item and every field whether or not there have been changes. Any guidance would be great!
Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Update item step - To only perform an update if any change was made in excel, you would have to query SharePoint to grab that specific item and do a comparison of all the fields (a lot more work).
I am learning always from your video😀
Glad to hear that
Good videos!!
I was reviewing your previous videos and they helped me a lot thanks.
Could you make a video where my power bi report is updated automatically every time a response is sent in forms using power automate?
the flow would be this forms - excel - powerbi using power automate and maybe share point thank you very much.
I will add your video request to my backlog but will need a lot more folks requesting this topic to give it a higher priority.
Meanwhile, I will recommend checking the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Simply spectacular! Is going to save me a bunch of time and energy. You have included multi-select columns (excellent!!) and also a Lookup Column (excellent!) - but there is one column type that I am struggling with that does not seem to be included here on this video (perhaps good for another video?) - and that is the combination of these two things - namely a Multi-Select Lookup Column. I have tried combining elements from both the multi-select column and the lookup column - but I seem to be failing..... Any chance of including one of those column types in this (or another video)?
Thanks Steve for the appreciation on the video.
I have no plans for a follow up video specific to multi select lookup columns. I do not have a video reference on this scenario and would have to try it out to provide guidance. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
this is absolute brilliant work.. thank you so much for sharing it
Thanks so much
A great video once again.. thank u so much Reza for the efforts you would have put in...
Thanks so much
@Reza, Excellent video, as always. I got a question about something I didnt understand: how does your Sharepoint doesnt get duplicates every time you run the same file?
Because I check to see if item exists then update else add. This is shown in video
Your demonstration was great! Can you assist in a question. One of my columns in my table I want to make as comments to each created item. How would I go about doing that?
Comments in SharePoint I assume, which is stored differently. I have not done a video on how to do that. I would need to try it out myself to know more about it.
I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Reza you're the best!!!!! thanks a lot for this video.
Thank You!
This guy is good. One of the best I have seen. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub Anthony
@@RezaDorrani You are more than welcome, I look forward to learning more from you!
Amazing tutorials! Thanks a lot!
Thanks Angelica
Thank you for your knowlege sharing! It lavarage our skills a lots
My pleasure!
Really appreciate your work ..i really like your videos samll question -Is there any way to load Excel data to SharePoint without creating any table in Excelsheet?
Power Automate actions do need a table to work with excel data.
You can also create tables dynamically. Check ua-cam.com/video/Kupz71dWYyY/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video, so much to learn. I haven't finished watching the video but would like to know the username that will be recorded in the "Created by" column of the sharePoint list.
The person under whose context the flow is running under.
Hi Reza, your videos are really great, I'm just starting with power automate and SharePoint. Your videos are very easy to follow, thanks a lot for that. Now, I have a job tracking list where I need to calculate a deadline for the recruiter on each position. I have a requisition date column and a Time to complete column, I can calculate the final date pretty straight forward, but I need to exclude sundays from the calculation. I've even found how to exclude weekends, but I need to exclude only sundays. I'm very confused on how to do that, any advise?
Thanks!
I dont have any specific video reference for your scenario.
