I want to compare 2 excel files using Power Automate which are stored in SharePoint Documents , and if any of the column rows contains another values , a mail should be forwarded saying the values are not matching.
So for this i want to create Power Automate Flow
This shall be challening with Power-automate. I personally would go with some code. I believe you have already googled for the same issue.
But I could see below 2 Post which can be of your help.

I’m an enthusiastic amateur to using VBA & Developer in Excel. I use multiple excel data sheets & workbooks on a daily basis and for years persevered by jumping between my various worksheets to retrieve and process my data. For a few months I’ve been following threads on stack overflow to teach me basic coding in order to develop a form to collate and view my data. Thank you so much! However! I cannot find a thread or guidance for the following:
I have an excel table which contains multiple records of notes and comments (no more than 150 words), 4 columns but hundreds of rows. The records relate to a unique ID (personal number) for 200 people/employees. Each person has multiple records collected through years and all contained in one worksheet (CM_Notes). Within that worksheet I have created a ‘FILTER’ table to display all records relating to a specific unique ID which functions as a search.
So, I have created a VBA Form which enables me to add further notes and view multiple records from all my worksheets which relate to the employees unique ID, mainly via list boxes; and it works well. Except for the ‘CM_notes worksheet’ which has too much text for a list box to be utilised.
Therefore, I would like to include a text box will let me view no more than 200 words and allow me to cycle through the Cells containing the records from the filtered table (found in the CM_Notes worksheet) which relate to a specific ID.
Creating this function in Access literally takes seconds, however due to the nature of my work (collaborative working) I’m tied to excel. A screenshot of what I’m trying to achieve is attached.

I just got the permission to try out Power Automate.
We have only one thing running in Excel via VBA and should replace it with a new solution:
What does this Excel VBA:
Filtering Column A for each value in Column A
Copying the filtered content and create a new table with only this content
Take this new table and create a mail-draft for a recipient (mail adress is stored in another column)
Close table/Delete table
next record out of filter array based on Column A
I find many tutorials for Power Automate with iteration over arrays but i have no clue how to generate this initial array of possible criterias out of column A - the part with sending mail (and creating HTML tables within this mail) is shown often.
In addition to asking for access to Power Automate, also ask permission for Office Scripts. This allows you to record (and write) Office Script macro's which you can call from your Power Automate Flows.
The Script bit is needed to manipulate the Excel file and update the separate tables.
See this page for a starter on Office Scripts:

And this one for some example scripts:

It sounds like you should be looking into Office Scripts. You can find Microsoft's examples on Office Scripts under the Samples section here. And you can find the Stackoverflow forum on Office Scripts here if you have any specific questions.
I'm using PowerApps to modify a list (list A) in Sharepoint. Some of the data displayed in this list is from another list (list B), displayed using lookup. Every week I update list B, with data I get from a automated email. The email contain a excel spreadsheet.
I would like to automate this, but I've run into so many issues I'm not even sure it is possible anymore.
This is my flow:
To my knowledge, it isn't possible to update a list directly from a excel file, unless the excel file is formatted as a table. Instead I have a empty file on my sharepoint that I update, which I later try to use as the source for updating list B.
Sadly this file is either locked by myself, or it won't recognize my table.
Any solutions to solve this problem would be helpful!
Just insert a create table step into the flow.
So you will:
Receive an email with the new Excel file.
Save that temporarily in a secured spot.
Create table on the data required.
Use the table to update the SharePoint list.
I've done that, then I've taken the data listed and added it to a SharePoint list using sample data from a website about single board computers, here:
I know this is a little backwards, but unfortunately this is what I have to do based on what I have to work with. Essentially we are getting data from one place, putting it into Excel and then running some pivot tables and then copying and pasting the results to Sharepoint. There is no way of getting the data into SharePoint from its initial source.
So here are the steps I have to do on a daily basis:
Go into 3 lists on sharepoint and delete the current data in there
Copy the data from each excel table and then paste it into the associated SharePoint list
Go into the Titles, etc part of SharePoint and update the file name to append the current date to it(ie change it from Data05032017 to Data 05042017)
I would like a way of automating this on a daily basis from Excel by simply pressing a button via VBA or if there is a way I can accomplish this wia linking somehow that would work too(not sure if its possible, I know you can link from SharePoint to Excel but unsure if you can go in the reverse direction).
So I first would like to know if this is possible and then if it is, how I go about doing it.
I have a list on Sharepoint,and I would like to update that list from any excel sheet/file I create "Having same formatting of course". Can I achieve that? I know that you can create a List on sharepoint from an excel sheet "Table Format" but I couldn't find any solution to sync sharepoint list from any excel sheet. Shall I do some scripting to achieve that ? I'm using Excel 2010 and Sharepoint 2010
Do you need to actually do any further interactions with the SharePoint list?
If not, a solution could be to just display the excel sheeet as a Range within a page. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee556820.aspx
Don't think you get my point. Suggesting that you do not use a list at all. Just display the excel sheet directly.
If you do need to update a list from excel, you must use scripting of some kind. Question is if you can call the script from within excel, or it must happen when uploading the excel sheet.
Perhaps if you tell the complete scenario, it is easier to help.
Since I need further interaction with the list, I have decided to go with Access, which provides an out of the box solution. Simply create a blank database and link it with the desired list on SharePoint and that would be it.
