Hey All,

I need a new Excel Spreadsheet trigger, not a new worksheet within a spreadsheet.

A system dumps a new Excel Spreadsheet into a OneDrive folder each day and I want to take the daily data from that Excel sheet and place it into a master Excel Sheet where it charts trends, etc.

But no “New Spreadsheet” trigger? I see Google Sheets has an option for a new Spreadsheet trigger, but not Excel.

Any way to achieve what I’m after?

Hello! Good question - This would typically be down to the developers of the zap. This might be one to email Microsoft about…

Would you consider an alternative to Excel in the meantime: https://zapier.com/apps/excel/alternatives

Unfortunately the machine only generates an excel file. It is extremely limited what can be done from the generation side. 


Hi there @leem209 - I have put in a feature request for this on your behalf. That does a few things:

- Bring this to the attention of the integration developers
- Help track interest in this feature being implemented
- Allows us to notify you via email if this feature becomes available in the future

While I don't have an ETA on when this feature might be implemented, we will notify you via email if it is!
 


Thanks @steph.n 

I found MailParser.io is able to extract the required data from my email attachments. It’s really quite good! 
 

from there I can enter it into Zapier as a trigger and send that extracted data over to my central Excel file. 
 

Another step in the process and another account to manage but working so far, so good.
