Power Automate - Create columns in an Excel using JSON

Just came up against a very interesting Power Automate problem that I had never come across before. I needed to be able to create an excel file and populate a different data set in a spreadsheet dependent on some criteria.

I thought it would be a matter, of creating an Excel template and then copying it over to a new file location, but not that simple. I had to first create the Excel file, then get the content metadata and store that in a compose step. This gave me a blank Excel file content, which I could then save anywhere I wanted. After that I created the file with that file content from the compose step, in SharePoint and gave it a name. Then use Create a table action:

Then, and this is the cool bit, I had to add a row into that table, because I didn't have any row information, I used JSON to create the row based on the values supplied and into the columns I had created. Using key value pairs from the manual trigger and the table column names:

Nice !!

The article’s explanation of using Power Automate to create Excel columns from JSON stood out, especially the way it breaks down what can initially feel like a messy data structure into something more structured and usable. I also found the practical focus on automating repetitive spreadsheet tasks interesting, since it really shows how much time can be saved once the workflow is set up correctly. It made me wonder how often people end up overcomplicating these flows before realizing a simpler structure works just as well.

It also reminded me how important clear structure and step-by-step logic are when dealing with complex information, whether in automation tasks or in academic settings where students sometimes look for Help with Accounting Assignment…

This was a very useful and well explained guide on using Power Automate to create columns in Excel with JSON. I really liked how clearly you broke down the steps because automation topics like this can often feel complex for beginners, but your explanation makes it much easier to follow. Content like this is especially valuable for professionals who want to save time and improve workflow efficiency through automation tools. At the same time, many readers who engage with technical and structured content like this also develop ideas or insights they may want to document and share in a more formal way. For those individuals, working with a Top-Rated Book Publishing Agency can be very helpful because it provides professional support…
