to only create file with Excel file extension

[SKChong15]

Good day to you. 

I am trying to build a flow that when a timesheet excel is send via e-mail , it will trigger the flow to get a approval from the management , once the request is approved the submitted timesheet excel file attachment should be copy into a shared document in the sharepoint. 

My issue with the flow is if there is a way that I can limit the flow to only copy the attachment that is in .xlsx and .xls extension? the reason for this is flow is also copying the logo from the sender's signature.

thank you

@SKChong15 , You should be able to add a condition before your Copy File action where you check for the extension of the attachment

Hi @SudeepGhatakNZ , 

thank you for your advise, 

however I do not have any steps that validate for the file extension, the following is a brief overview of how my flow would looks like. Can you please further assist?

thanks!

Hi @SKChong15 

As @SKChong15  said, adding a condition before creating the file is the correct way. 

I made a test for your reference:

Hi Levi, 

I think my message was not clear in my original post that confused the viewers. I do not want to limit or stop the flow from running if it is not with excel attachment, but instead, during the 'create item' in the 'Aply-to-each-3', I only need to create the file with excel extension. What is happening at the moment is the flow will also copy the signature in the sender's email which is in .png file extension. 

I have no problem getting sender to send the attachment in excel file, but I am having issue when they send their request with the signature that has the company's logo in it. 

I hope my message does not further confuse anyone... thank you

Hi @SKChong15 ,

You need the condition nevertheless. You need it here.

Your foreach loop is executing twice if the email contains a logo and an attachment.

What that condition would do is that it will execute when the extension is xlsx or xls (as @v-liwei-msft has shown)

and skip the logo.
