Excel as Source
Status: Open · Asked by Alfredo YM on · 0 views
Hi
It is my first workflow, my necesity is export to MySql from Excel.
For this I made a workflow, the origin app is excel and the triger is New Row in Whorksheet.
But I have few rows in the worksheet previuos to the first import.
I cut all the rows, saved and closed the excel, open again and paste all the rows.
Also I placed a new row in the sheet.
After first Task, only one row was transfered, the last that I place manually.
1.- How couls I force to import allrows ?
2.- Normally the rows of this excel worksheet will be inserted by a vba macro ( automatically ), will this triger the workflow task ?
Thank you
Hi @Alfredo YM,
1.- How couls I force to import allrows ?
The "Microsoft Excel: New Row in a Worksheet" trigger only captures the last row added to your worksheet, so importing the entire data of an existing worksheet is not possible.
2.- Normally the rows of this excel worksheet will be inserted by a vba macro ( automatically ), will this triger the workflow task ?

Hi @ArshilAhmad
Thanks,
The "Microsoft Excel: New Row in a Worksheet" trigger only captures the last row added to your worksheet.
1. Does it means that if several rows are added during the last 8 hours, the trigger only will capture lastone ?
Undestand that the trigger in not "capturing" the rows that i'm adding by copy&paste, even in the lastone.
2. Is there any chance for trigger recognize it ?, ( pasting by insert or anyother way )
3. will trigger recognize if the macho insert a new row in the middel ( will be last added, but not the last in the excel worksheet ) ?
1. Does it means that if several rows are added during the last 8 hours, the trigger only will capture lastone ?
No, 8 hours is just the polling time. You can add data to multiple rows; each row will be treated as a separate task, and your workflow will be triggered for each newly added row.
Undestand that the trigger in not "capturing" the rows that i'm adding by copy&paste, even in the lastone.
Could you please add the data by copy-pasting it to the last row of your worksheet once more?
3. will trigger recognize if the macho insert a new row in the middel ( will be last added, but not the last in the excel worksheet ) ?
No, the data has to be added to the last row of your worksheet.
Hi,
Could you please add the data by copy-pasting it to the last row of your worksheet once more?
I copied the last row and paste in next row, but no effects.
Also I ran this code in vba,
For a = 2 To 50
For b = 1 To 26
Cells(a + 50, b) = Cells(a, b)
Next b
Next a
Filling 49 Rows with the data from the rows 2-50,
This also doesn't trigger the workflows.
Also 8h waiting the process doesn't help to solve.
Thanks
Hey @Alfredo YM
Can you please record a short video on how you are trying to add a new row from your Excel file?

Simple copy&paste. The server doesn't allow upload the video.
Kindly upload it to Google Drive and share the link with us.

Now it looks that copy&paste in the last row is working.
But i does'nt work when is filled from a macro.
Thanks
