Update Row in Excel doesn't find any tables (Microsoft Flow)

[Grossherzog]

Hello,

I like to update an excel row as the result of a twitter search. (Microsoft Flow)

When I choose the correct excel file from my onedrive  I get the message "No items" when I want to choose an excel table.

I have two tabs in the excel sheet. In one tab I have named the rows on the top.

What could be wrong? I have no idea.

Or what do they mean with excel table? Isn't a tab meant?

Thanks

Nico

Don't worry, no one here really knows what they're doing. It's a mix of people who want actual solutions and people who want that MVP badge!

My worksheet contains a spin button and that is what is causing the error.  When I remove the spin button Flow is able to find the table.

Any way around this you think?  I need the spin button.

Converting the excel table to range actually worked for the issue I was having. Issue was that the Flow would run successfully, but the SP item wouldn't get added to the Excel table. After I changed this around, the items are now being added! Yay!!! Thanks!!!

I've spent a half of the day fighting with Excel Update row action error "No table was found with the name 'Ratings'".

So, it finally works for me now. 

Answer: Excel Online Update row action Table parameter expects not a name but id, like here:

"id": "{00000000-000C-0000-FFFF-FFFF00000000}".

You can find the id using action Get Tables, wich will return json

    "@odata.id": "/drivesknxjuxbcbcb,

    "style": "TableStyleMedium2",

    "name": "Ratings",

    "showFilterButton": true,

    "id": "{00000000-000C-0000-FFFF-FFFF00000000}",

    "highlightLastColumn": false,

    "highlightFirstColumn": false,

    "legacyId": "1",

    "showBandedColumns": false,

    "showBandedRows": true,

    "showHeaders": true,

    "showTotals": false

then you can enter (or dynamically input) the id in Update row Table:

To insert a Table id choose Custom value and do so:

Hope it helps!

Thank you very much, this was the easy way. I thought about it, but didn't try it before googleing.

Hi, I'm having this issue right now, did you solve it?

If the table doesn't appear, delete the step within Automate and then reinsert it. The dropdown should update.

I am experiencing the same issue. I have gotten this template to work in the past, but no luck with this Table. Is there another possible solution yet?
