Running flows on a selected file/item.
Hi all,
I'm trying to find out how to start a Flow on a selected item in a library (or list).
As promised in the screenshot below and in this article, it should be possible to start a workflow on a selected file/item. I just can find out how to get this working.
1. I'm running on First release
2. The flow I have made has been created from within the library and active
Any help would be really appreciated!!
Thanks,
Remy
Here some Information about the RAND, RANDBETWEEN, and RANDARRAY functions in Excel:
- RAND:
- Random Decimal Numbers: Use RAND to generate random decimal numbers between 0 and 1. This is useful for simulations, games, and random sampling.
- Random Selection: You can assign a random number to each item in a list and then sort the list based on these numbers to randomly reorder the items.
- RANDBETWEEN:
- Random Integer Numbers: RANDBETWEEN allows you to generate random integer numbers within a specified range. This is useful for generating random numbers for simulations, randomization tasks, or generating test data.
- Random Dates: By using RANDBETWEEN in combination with the DATE function, you can generate random dates within a specified range. This can be helpful for testing date-related functions or scenarios.
- RANDARRAY:
- Multiple Random Numbers: RANDARRAY allows you to generate an array of random numbers in one go. This is useful when you need multiple random numbers at once, especially in dynamic array formulas.
- Custom Distributions: With RANDARRAY, you can create custom distributions by specifying parameters such as mean and standard deviation for normal distribution or minimum and maximum values for uniform distribution. This can be useful in statistical analysis and simulations.
- Random Sampling: You can use RANDARRAY to randomly sample values from a given range or list. This is helpful for creating representative samples for analysis or testing purposes.
Creative Applications:
- Random Content Generator: Use RAND or RANDBETWEEN to create a tool that generates random text, numbers, or dates for various purposes like testing, generating passwords, or creating sample data.
- Randomized Worksheets: Automatically populate cells with random values using formulas like RAND or RANDBETWEEN to create randomized worksheets for testing or educational purposes.
- Interactive Games: Use random numbers to create interactive games or simulations within Excel, such as dice rollers, random card draws, or random event generators.
- Dynamic Dashboards: Incorporate random data or dynamic elements using RANDARRAY to create visually engaging and constantly changing dashboards for presentations or analysis.
- Monte Carlo Simulations: Use random numbers generated by RAND or RANDARRAY to perform Monte Carlo simulations for risk analysis, financial modeling, or project planning.
These are just a few examples of the versatile applications of RAND, RANDBETWEEN, and RANDARRAY functions in Excel. With a bit of creativity, you can leverage these functions to solve a wide range of problems and enhance your Excel projects. The text was created with the help of AI

It just caught my eye that I have two Flow environments active on my tenant. One standard and one from preview. All flows in Preview wont show up at my libraries, the first one I created within "Standard" does...

Hi there - are you using Flow Free or a paid for plan? I am wondering if its not available on the free plan? thanks
