Power Automate is not directly integrated into Excel. However, you can use Power Automate to automate tasks involving Excel files.

Here's how:

  • Create a Power Automate flow: You can use Power Automate to create automated workflows that can interact with Excel files.
  • Connect to Excel: Power Automate offers connectors that allow you to connect to Excel files stored in various locations, including OneDrive, SharePoint, and your computer.
  • Perform actions on Excel files: Once connected, you can use Power Automate to perform various actions on Excel files, such as:
    • Read data: Extract data from specific cells or ranges.
    • Write data: Insert, update, or delete data in Excel files.
    • Format data: Apply formatting to cells, rows, or columns.
    • Combine files: Merge multiple Excel files.

Example:

You can create a Power Automate flow that automatically extracts data from a weekly sales report stored in OneDrive, formats it, and then inserts it into a summary sheet in another Excel file.

Note:

Power Automate is a separate application from Excel. You can access it through the Power Automate website or the Power Automate desktop app.
