Microsoft Excel Online Connection and Import Step

Hello, this is my first time using the community, and I hope that I can also be helpful to some of you.

I am building a flow that will basically do the following:

  1. Export Invoices from Concur
  2. Branching by different approval statuses
  3. Lookup the Invoices in NS leveraging the reference ID or Invoice ID
  4. Creating an Excel file with some sort of reconciliation. This is where I have a question.

My excel "lives" in SharePoint, and I want Celigo to Import: Reference ID, Vendor Name, Amount per NS, amount per Concur (all already in the data and I can easily obtain, Calculate the Difference to hopefully get to 0.

I connected to Microsoft Excel Online using a "simple connection" but I cannot seem to find out how to connect to my specific file. I looked through the documentation and couldn't find how to 1) Connect correctly 2) Setup the import step correctly

Have you tried using this template I made in the marketplace? Working with Excel APIs can be tricky, so I made this template to easily extract and load data.

There is also a doc here that walks you through using this template:

Hi Tyler, I tried but I am getting an error when trying to install it: Failed to create Import for _id "66795a680b17e44a54d4b337" due to: Please update your connection resource and set the concurrency level field to 1 (i.e. located at the bottom of the HTTP form in the advanced section). If concurrency level is not equal to 1, then this import could experience race conditions, and produce corrupted data.

I am reading this but it does not explain how to get to that screen where you select the Excel file.

My issue is that I don't know what Resource and what API Endpoint I need let alone the item id.

I selected Worksheet and worksheet collection add, but I am not sure if that is correct. For the item id I added the id of what I hink is the correct one from my URL in the browser.

I am trying to run the flow and have it create 5 columns: Invoice ID, Vendor Name, Amount per NS, Amount per Concur, Difference (Concur minus NetSuite).

I created a ticket but the person didn't know 100% either. So I am still not clear on how to actually find the Import that I neede or how to set it up. I do have the correct scopes.

Did you change your connection's concurrency to 1? You need to go into the connection, flip to HTTP view, go down to the advanced section, then edit it to 1.

Once you do this and install the template, you don't need to worry about much else. The template I made fetches the list of SharePoint sites for you to select, then populates a list of files to choose from. Are you needing to make new workbooks, sheets, and column headers every time?

Hi, so I was able to get to the screen you are showing. I selected SharePoint, the Worksheet name, then I saved it but it does not show my workbook. Am I missing anything? when I open the drop-down list, it only shows Please Select Data but there is no data. I know the connection works because it shows all the SharePoint Sites I have access to.

On your connection you have all of these scopes added?

  • Files.Read
  • Files.ReadWrite
  • offline_access
  • Sites.Read.All
  • Sites.ReadWrite.All

Yes, I have those. What I find interesting is that every single SharePoint Site shows up, but not the Workbook.

This is the error that I am getting when I run it without the Workbook.
Failed to load spreadsheet. Unable to lookup the range needed for insert. Root error: {"code":404,"message":"{"error":{"code":"itemNotFound","message":"Item not found"}}"}

That is strange. Would you be able to attend office hours tomorrow?

Just to document it here. I attended the office hours, and you suggested to give you access to check the script in the template itself in our environment. We gave you access to our Celigo environment. I also sent you an email confirming this.

thanks,
