Power Automate to update master Excel

Copper Contributor

Hi All,

 

I have a master spreadsheet with columns A-V all manually populated. However there are issues with populating the data to go into columns W,X,Y currently, therefore I want to automate the process.

 

Currently people send a file to an admin team to update the master doc (located in sharepoint), however I think it should be possible to automate this, by picking up the emailed workbook and taking the relevant data to update the master.

 

I know I will have to create a new unique field in order to make this work, but firstly:


Can I do this?

Is power automate the best way?

 

Example of my master sheet:

Then my input sheets would look something like:

But there would be LOTS of these, several submitted each month by several members of staff, hence why i am suggesting picking these up from an email (I'm assuming I would need to create an email template with fixed text so power automate could pick up - or could it do it from the attachment name?

 

Thanks in advance
