How Excel Automation Works
Connecting Your Spreadsheets To Your Business Ecosystem
The Technical Magic Behind The Scenes
The n8n Excel 365 integration leverages Microsoft's robust Graph API to create a bi-directional data flow between your spreadsheets and other systems:
- Read Operations: Extract data from specific worksheets, ranges, or tables
- Write Operations: Update cells, insert rows, or modify entire ranges
- Formatting: Apply conditional formatting based on business rules
- File Operations: Create, copy, or manage spreadsheets programmatically
With n8n's visual workflow builder, you can configure these operations without writing code. The integration supports OAuth authentication for secure access while maintaining your organization's security policies and data governance requirements.
