copy filenames from sharepoint to Excel list

Hello,

 

I want to add a rows in an Excel list, when a file is created in sharepoint.

The problem is, that the folder names get copied as well.

The files are in many subfolders, but only files needs to be added to the Excel list.

Do you have any ideas to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Enrico1109 

 

You can use lastindexof() on / to detect the last occurence of / and then use substring() to define the starting point of the substring from the path you have.

 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
Cheers,
Damien

Hi @DamoBird365,

I have absolutly no idea what you mean :D.

Can you give me a Screenshot how it needs to look like?

Thank you

I cannot change the name in Englisch but I can translate it.

 

Trigger: When a file is created (only properties)

Action: Add a row to a table


Do you need the Output from the Trigger or the Action Input?

Thank you

If I add an file in a folder it needs to be added in a Excel table.

Lets say I have a mainfolder. In this folder every new created file needs to be added in an excel table.

If I create another folder in the main folder with more files in it, then only the files (. docx .xls) needs to be added in the table.

Right now all the files and folders in the main folders get added in the excel table.

 

Thank you for your time and help.

@Gericom 

It says the following invalid template:

 

Enrico1109_0-1622798646205.png

 

in English:

Template language expressions in the entries of the action "row_to_add_table" in row "1" and column "30875" cannot be processed: The template language function "lastIndexOf" expects a parameter of the type "string" as the second parameter. The specified value is of the type "integer". Details on the syntax can be found at https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#lastindexof..

 

Hope you can help me :).

Thank you

 

Kind regard
Enrico
