This workflow is perfect for users who need a reliable, automated way to transfer and organize data from OneDrive into Excel—especially for tasks like portfolio tracking, inventory management, and record-keeping.

How it Works

1. Automated Monitoring: Every minute, the workflow scans a designated OneDrive folder for new files.
2. File Verification: It checks if the detected file is in CSV format; if not, the process stops with an error message.
3. Data Extraction and Cleaning: CSV data is loaded, and irrelevant headers are removed before mapping to specified columns in Excel.
4. Excel Update: The workflow maps data to your Excel sheet, updating only new or modified entries based on a unique identifier ("Ticker/ISIN").
5. Cleanup: To keep your OneDrive organized, processed files are deleted after updating Excel.
