Adds Excel Online (Business) connector to a Power Apps code app. Use when reading or writing Excel workbook data from OneDrive or SharePoint.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# 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](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md).
### Step 2: Gather
Ask the user:
1. Where is the workbook? (OneDrive or SharePoint)
2. Workbook file name
3. Which table(s) in the workbook to access
### Step 3: Add Connector
**First, find the connection ID** (see [connector-reference.md](${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.

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/add-excel@sha256:930f31b63abe5430The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.d44759b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
