This Example Lab project demonstrates how to use the Set Formula Value step to populate data in an excel spreadsheet using a formula.
Explanation
This Flow starts with the Create Data step. Create Data Step contains a file data variable that is set to a constant. An excel template is uploaded to this variable. The Set Formula Value step is used to add a value to a cell of the excel file using a formula. The inputs for this step are the following: Column, File Type, Input, New Value, Row, Worksheet Number. For this example we have set the Column to 1, File Type to Auto Select, Input to the uploaded file from the Create Data step, New Value is set to the formula of “1+4”, Row is set to 0 and Worksheet Number is set to 0. This will populate the value of 5 in the first cell of the excel file. The Update File With Data step is updating the excel file with the data that is modified with the Set Formula Value step. The Download Updated Excel Form takes in the output of the Update File With Data step as an input and is used to download the updated excel file.
