Add Excel Online

Workflow

1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Gather → 3. Add Connector → 4. Configure → 5. Build → 6. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per [shared-instructions.md](${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md).

Step 2: Gather

Ask the user:

1. Where is the workbook? (OneDrive or SharePoint)
2. Workbook file name
3. Which table(s) in the workbook to access

Step 3: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see [connector-reference.md](${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/connector-reference.md)):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Excel Online (Business) connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

Excel Online is a tabular datasource -- requires -c (connection ID), -d (drive), and -t (table name in workbook):

# OneDrive workbook
npx power-apps add-data-source -a excelonlinebusiness -c <connection-id> -d 'me' -t 'Table1'

# SharePoint workbook -- dataset is the document library path
npx power-apps add-data-source -a excelonlinebusiness -c <connection-id> -d 'sites/your-site' -t 'Table1'

Run for each table the user needs.

Step 4: Configure

AddRowIntoTable -- adds a row to an Excel table:

// OneDrive workbook
await ExcelOnlineBusinessService.AddRowIntoTable({
  source: "me",
  drive: "me",
  file: "MyWorkbook.xlsx",
  table: "Table1",
  body: { column1: "value1", column2: "value2" } // Flat object, NO "items" wrapper
});

// SharePoint workbook
await ExcelOnlineBusinessService.AddRowIntoTable({
  source: "sites/your-site",
  drive: "drive-id",
  file: "SharedWorkbook.xlsx",
  table: "Table1",
  body: { column1: "value1", column2: "value2" }
});

Key points:

• source: "me" and drive: "me" for OneDrive personal files
• For SharePoint, use the site path and drive ID
• The body is a flat key-value object matching column headers -- do NOT wrap in { items: ... }

Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/ExcelOnlineBusinessService.ts (generated files can be very large -- see [connector-reference.md](${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/connector-reference.md#inspecting-large-generated-files)).

Step 5: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 6: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, workbook/table configured, build status.
