I want to create an Azure Function that connects to Logic Apps that will be used as an Add-in for Excel Online. I want this Azure Function to read the Excel online file as a blob.
How can I do this?
Per your description, I assume you want to use Logic App read the excel file then use Function to store the excel file into the Blob.
You could just do it with Logic App. Firstly use SharePoint connector to get the excel file content, then use Azure Blob connector, Create blob use file name and file content.
And here is the excel blob file in Azure Blob.

I am trying to populate a Sharepoint Online list. The source files are of csv format and reside in Azure Blob storage. Is it possible to use Logic Apps to read the contents of the csv line by line (not copy/move files to Sharepoint) and insert a row in the Sharepoint list? I could not find any actions that would allow me to parse the csv files in Azure Logic Apps.
Side note: The csv files are being generated using an Azure Data Pipeline. I am only writing them to csv as ADF doesn't allow Sharepoint Online as a sink. If there is a way to directly populate the data to Sharepoint and avoid writing to a csv, then that would be magical!
You can use Parse CSV action of Plumsail, a 3rd party connector. Below is the flow of my logic app where I could able to insert each row from csv to SharePoint list.
Below is my CSV File in my storage

I have data source from external (KoboTool Box). This data source provides conversion to excel file (From Web connection) by put specific web link. After I got all data, I put these excel file in the Azure blob storage.
By using Logic App, I have got the file in the blob container but I have no idea how to refresh this excel file to retrieve external data. There are two Excel Online (One drive & Business). I don't know what next steps.
My question, is it possible to refresh this excel file to get the latest update data from external data source by using logic app ?
I need to generate an excel file in Azure Data Factory and save it in a blob storage. I know that Sink to Excel file is not available. I would like to create an Azure Function in PowerShell to achieve this but I don't know how to go about it.
I am working on a logic app that gets a file azure file file shares, adds them in azure blob storage and then calls a Azure Function that receives that blob (.xlsx file).
After the blob is created the Azure Function will parse the data in the blob and will insert the data in MS dynamics CRM entity.
My question is how can I access the blob in Azure Function and parse it so I can the data that will be store in the entity?
I have successfully created the logic app that performs the mentioned steps:

From your screenshot, seems your logic app to trigger function is triggered by Http. So you can use azure function blob binding to access the blob in storage:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-storage-blob-input?tabs=csharp
(The information of blob name is incoming by json format, so binding can directly get the name.)
Regarding parsing, I think there are a lot of codes that can be used for reference. It is no need to be given here. If you need it, you can tell me(And please tell the language you are using.).
Receiving an excel file every day with one sheet(Sheet name will be the different every time) and that will be stored in Azure Blob container and is there any possibility to convert the excel to CSV either by using SSIS script Task or Azure Logic Apps.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
There are many ways we can do that.
With Logic app, you could ref the answer here:
Converting should be pretty easy. On high level, you can do following:
Use Excel connector to read into the content of the excel file
Use Data Operations - Create CSV Table to create a CSV format populated with dynamic data from step #1
Use Azure Blob Connector to create and save the new csv file on the blob storage
Since the excel is stored in Blob Storage, I would suggest you use Data factory, it supports Excel file directly:
Create the Source dataset:
Create Sink dataset: set the new csv file name:

It works well and very easy and directly:
