Solved: Excel 256 Row Limit in MS Flow

Problem

When processing Excel files containing over within Microsoft Flow, you might notice that only the first 256 rows will be returned …

What The? What's Going On Here?

Solution

Well it turns out that by default Microsoft Flow limits you to fetching the first 256 rows … however you can increase this limit in the following way

1. Navigate to SETTINGS on the Excel step
2. Enable Pagination
3. Set the Threshold above 256 e.g. 5000.
