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?

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. 


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.
