Read rows from a Excel worksheet in Logic App

Question

I'm struggling with getting the rows present in an Excel worksheet in my Logic App. Even Google did not give me reasonable answers unfortunately.

I can get the Worksheet(s) with the "Get Worksheets" Action but I have problems with reading the rows from it. Currently I am using the "Excel Online (Business)" connector.

The excel will only contain one single Worksheet and no Table. Otherwise I could have used the "List Rows in a Table" Action but this scenario is actually not possible.

Could one give me some advice on how to read the rows from an Excel-Worksheet?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

We must have a table established in our Excel file before using the Excel Online (Business) connections.

In order to add a table select all the concerned cells and navigate to Insert > Click Table. Now add the Table Name in List rows present in Table or Get a row connectors to retrieve the data.

• The outputs of two connectors:

  

• Here are the sample Excel files that are used :

  duplicates.xlsx

  

Answer 2

Since it is not possible to add a Table-Area in the excel prior the Logic App processing because of the way the Excel file is delivered I have solved the problem by explicitly adding a Table in the Logic App to the incoming Excel file and filter it in "Get Rows present in table" to get only the rows containing data.
