I did not realise how macros could be integrated with power animate. I’ve been “stuck” in my personal exploration of power animate and watching you set up the script really helped a few things click. This knowledge makes me hopeful. Thank you!
For me ... a lot to unpack here. But a flawless delivery (once again) ... and Leila's encouragement makes me curious. But I still have a long road to travel before I get "there". As always ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you.
This is the power automate flow I have been looking for! Thank you Leila! If anyone is like me and not a guru on these things, I just want to explain how I overcome an issue with this flow as it didn’t work for me initially when I was testing it. This flow only sends 20 files/emails at a time (I haven’t figured out how to disable the limit) and therefore if you have more than 20 files, and your flow fails, you maybe wondering why. I was testing it with a couple of lines from my spreadsheet (which had 100s of lines and therefore 100s of files in the folder). The two lines I was testing were not in the first 20 files that the flow was searching and that’s why my flow was failing. I removed all of the files and left the two files that I was testing and the flow worked! Just be aware of this as I was going mental 😅 trying to figure it out!! Hope this is helpful!
Takeaways: Record Actions: allows to write code based on actions that were done inside a sheet, and collections would be a group a sheets that would be modified (there are basic scripts in the MS documentation to make the code). Flow: are actions that could be scheduled or triggered. Example would be to execute a script to format different excel files that are inside a folder or send personalized emails to each person (based on records in an excel file).
Wow! I've been out of the Excel/Office loop for a couple of years and what a great surprise - a lot of really neat features have been added! Thanks for a wonderful tutorial!
Hmmm, nice video as usual, but need to spend some more time in understanding Office Script and Power Automate before applying them practically. Thanks Leila! 👍
I'm going to apply this to my daily/weekly/monthly work routine. Hope this will simplify my work which currently I think taking too much of my precious time.
Hi Leila. I have a report that I build every Monday that starts with data in a CSV file. I import and transform the data using Power Query and then build a pivot table and another table with summary data. I do all of this manually. This video gives me the idea to automate all of that. Thanks for the overview of this!
Very interesting. I don't often use Excel online however these are certainly some time saving methods that I can incorporate into my work flows. Thanks Leila.
Hello Ms. Leila, Thank you for another great tutorial. I'm wondering if you can make a video on how to make a simple CRUD using Microsoft Forms or if its not possible maybe you can give some advice on how to make a formatted and ready to print webpage generated from an excel table that was populated from MS forms... Sorry for my bad English, hope you understand what I meant and want to achieve. thanks again...
Can u do a video on PowerPoint? I would really appreciate it. Example; changing the headings and text formatting to a specified design thats been prepared ahead of time
Thank you Leila for yet another brilliant video. As a newbie to the data world i am wondering when i would use Office Script vs when to use Power Query? Any direction you ( or anyone else reading this) could offer would be gratefully received. Thank you
Thanks Leila, my productivity increased since I found your channel. I have a question, is it possible to fill down in excel on the web or using script. I want to fill down blanks until next value and fill down that as well. Similar to the go to special in excell desktop app. Will really appreciate
With so much understanding needed to edit and work with the script/code, clearly one needs to know coding or writing software code and that is where this becomes useless for people like me who do not know anything about computer languages.
You're lessons have helped me out a lot. My team runs a report that is 93 pages worth of stuff even adding filters we still get a lot of stuff in the report. How can I build a query that links all these pages? Any guidance is much appreciated! you rock
Hello, thanks for all the very helpful videos. I was wondering if you also have some tutorials about Visio? Every time you come up with a new video I learn so much exciting stuff.
Looks like the version of Office that my company uses doesn't have the Automate tab in Excel yet (online or desktop). Hopefully it gets added soon, this would greatly help!
I recently started using office 365 at work. In some desktop files that I have which utilize macros, I have event codes in some of them. One such code is dealing with data validation menus. When someone clicks in any cell that has a dropdown menu, the workbook will automatically zoom in to make the choices appear larger for better readability. Is it at all possible to have something like this with Office Scripts?
I did just this exact this this week, but I have it to download a file to SharePoint then run the formatting script on the saved file but it just fails every time. Doing two separate flows to save the attachment then apply the formatting script works fine! Sometimes PA is really annoying! Great video though.
Is there a way to incorporate SAP to Excel using power automate? I use SAP BI links to extract data sets in tabular view and then copy paste these to excel, refresh and update files each month. Is this something that can be automated?
Hi Leila, thank you for a great video. I was wondering whether it was possible to design a workflow that used multiple scripts across multiple files? The process I am thinking about involves around 3 files (let's call them A, B & C). Script-1 would do something like this: Step -1: Clean up file A Step -2: Look up two fields from file B into file A Step-3: Clean up file A some more Step-4: Save file A Script-2 would: Step-1: Clean up file C Step -2: Do a lookup between files A and C Step-5: Copy + paste relevant records from file C to file A Step-6: Run a pivot on the final file A I know this is more complicated then the task you displayed in the video but assuming I can capture the steps above in multiple macro scripts. Is it possible to design a workflow with multiple macro scripts applied across files with specific naming conventions??? Thanks in Advance.
Hi Ms. Leila, I am watching your videos every day after my shift. I am looking for an excel tutorial regarding how to match 2 files with addresses. I want to look if they have the same building name. Do you have a tutorial for that?
Hi Leila. Could you do more videos on OfficeScripts?! I noticed that the Automate ribbon is available on Excel desktop now. Curious if people will start using this instead of VBA.
hi madam, all your videos are always motivating and inspiring to learn excel and its commands. Can you please let me know if there is a way to automate google sheets data without any 3rd party ai tool?
Greetings Guru Ms. Leila, Thank you for another superb video once again. If I may ask for your guidance on what would be a great formula, scripts, forms etc. Hope I explained the question well. Column A given numbers (5,12,15,20,37,50) Column B number to be input let say (99) Column C will display (12, 37, 50) it got from Column A 12+37+50. Thank you for reading.
Hello Ms.Leila, It's very useful tip... I wanted to learn Power Automate advance course... Do you have such course in your website? Or pls post more videos about power Automate.
Hello! I am a fan of your excel videos. It helps me a lot on my work. Now I need your advise: I have to automaticaly import an .json file with some data and create some charts that should get in a power point presentation. I work a lot with vba, so if I succed to have my data in excel all other steps are easy. My question is: to automaticaly import the json file is it easier with office scripts (with or without power automate) or should I use vba? Notice that I am a novice in office scripts, I only repoduced the scripts tha I saw in your videos. Thank you a lot.
Thank you again for a great tutorial. I have one topic that you might think worthy of a tutorial. Many years ago at work I had a data file with a huge amount of data of variables changing very (I mean very!) slowly with time which I had to analyse. I realised that if I took every tenth data set then the analysis became much easier. I found a method for doing this, but sadly I have forgotten, I am now retired and this was about 13 years ago. I now have some weather data I would like to reduce in a similar fashion. Might it be a good video to show how to pick out every nth line in Excel?
John, you could do this by adding a column that simply numbered the rows 1,2,3,4...., then use the recently added FILTER function to pull out all rows where that number column MOD 10 is 0
for using the onedrive for power automate, do we need to pay Microsoft? could you please give some excel files to follow the steps of above video? Thanks.
Very informative video, Leila. Thank you. Would you please make a video for automating new form submissions uploaded to a onedrive file which can save a lot of time opening main file and take data. Please go a bit slow when automating video is prepared for learners to understand how does it work. Thank you once again 👍

I love your honesty, even with the awkward comments and questions. Thank you for the content, it has taught me a lot!
I did not realise how macros could be integrated with power animate.
I’ve been “stuck” in my personal exploration of power animate and watching you set up the script really helped a few things click.
This knowledge makes me hopeful. Thank you!
I’m glad this helped. It takes time to get used to PA but once we have some patterns we’ll be able to reuse them easily.
For me ... a lot to unpack here. But a flawless delivery (once again) ... and Leila's encouragement makes me curious. But I still have a long road to travel before I get "there".
As always ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you.
The excel videos are really great and easy to follow. I wish you did videos on access. Everyone else is so dry or hard to understand.
This is the power automate flow I have been looking for! Thank you Leila!

Thanks for sharing your experience!
Why we love Leila gharani channel.....easy asian accent English and ability to articulate so well.
Hi Leila. Office Scripts and Power Automate together looks very powerful! Thanks for sharing this example. Thumbs up!!
I learnt something new today, thanks a lot! I use Power Automate quite a lot but never used it with Excel scripts. Good to know!
Wow!!! You changed your workplace! And as you said in your Q and A you made a video on this

You're very welcome, Robert!
Fantastic video, I learned so much. Beautifully presented and you have such a nice voice to listen to! Very pleasing to the ear.
i wish i found your videos like 10 years ago. this was an awesome tutorial.
Glad you like them!
As usual.... Always delivering the best tutorial. Thanks for this. Forever grateful
My pleasure!
Hmmm, nice video as usual, but need to spend some more time in understanding Office Script and Power Automate before applying them practically. Thanks Leila! 👍
Thanks, Vijay. Yes, I'll also have to learn much more about these tools. But they are exciting :)

I love your voice, and your knowledge
Thanks a good example of how to combine Power Automate and Office scripts
Just learning of Power Automate. Have downloaded and am ready to add it to my skills.
Hi Leila. I have a report that I build every Monday that starts with data in a CSV file. I import and transform the data using Power Query and then build a pivot table and another table with summary data. I do all of this manually. This video gives me the idea to automate all of that. Thanks for the overview of this!
Couldn’t you potentially do all this with either macros in excel or power bi reports
Thanks Leila! I'm just getting into Power Automate and your videos are really helpful
Hi Leila, I just want to say that your videos are so enjoyable! 😄🤗
Oh thank you!
Very interesting. I don't often use Excel online however these are certainly some time saving methods that I can incorporate into my work flows. Thanks Leila.
Glad it was helpful!
Leila, thank you for yet another really helpful video.
I note that there is also one dislike - just guessing, but probably from a LOTUS-123 user.
😂
Thank you Leila for another amazing video!🥰
You are so welcome!
Subscribed to your channel is one of the best things I did in my life 😁

hi Leila, you have nicely explained, thank you for video .can u tell me can we use function in Automate.
Really interesting, I'm wondering if I can apply this to get standard report format in word 🤔 great idea 😃
Great!! Thanks for video on innovative idea…

Wonder if we can run a script on "workbook open" or "Workbook Close" similar to VBA functions
Lila, awesome video!
Any idea when or if refresh connections will be available in Office Scripts?
