    I did not realise how macros could be integrated with power animate.
    I’ve been “stuck” in my personal exploration of power animate and watching you set up the script really helped a few things click.
    This knowledge makes me hopeful. Thank you!

      I’m glad this helped. It takes time to get used to PA but once we have some patterns we’ll be able to reuse them easily.

    As always ... thank you ... thank you ... thank you.

    This is the power automate flow I have been looking for! Thank you Leila!
    If anyone is like me and not a guru on these things, I just want to explain how I overcome an issue with this flow as it didn’t work for me initially when I was testing it.
    This flow only sends 20 files/emails at a time (I haven’t figured out how to disable the limit) and therefore if you have more than 20 files, and your flow fails, you maybe wondering why.
    I was testing it with a couple of lines from my spreadsheet (which had 100s of lines and therefore 100s of files in the folder). The two lines I was testing were not in the first 20 files that the flow was searching and that’s why my flow was failing.
    I removed all of the files and left the two files that I was testing and the flow worked! Just be aware of this as I was going mental 😅 trying to figure it out!!
    Hope this is helpful!

  • @karengomez3143
    @karengomez3143 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Takeaways:
    Record Actions: allows to write code based on actions that were done inside a sheet, and collections would be a group a sheets that would be modified (there are basic scripts in the MS documentation to make the code).
    Flow: are actions that could be scheduled or triggered. Example would be to execute a script to format different excel files that are inside a folder or send personalized emails to each person (based on records in an excel file).

    Hi Leila. I have a report that I build every Monday that starts with data in a CSV file.

Thanks for the overview of this!

    Hello! I am a fan of your excel videos. It helps me a lot on my work. Now I need your advise: I have to automaticaly import an .json file with some data and create some charts that should get in a power point presentation. I work a lot with vba, so if I succed to have my data in excel all other steps are easy. My question is: to automaticaly import the json file is it easier with office scripts (with or without power automate) or should I use vba? Notice that I am a novice in office scripts, I only repoduced the scripts tha I saw in your videos. Thank you a lot.

    With so much understanding needed to edit and work with the script/code, clearly one needs to know coding or writing software code and that is where this becomes useless for people like me who do not know anything about computer languages.
