Connectors play an integral part when you create automated workflows with Azure Logic Apps.

By using connectors in your logic apps, you expand the capabilities for your on-premises

# Manage Excel Online data with Azure Logic Apps
16+
17+
With Azure Logic Apps and the Excel Online connector,
18+
you can create automated tasks and workflows based
19+
on your data in Excel Online for Business or OneDrive.
20+
Your workflows can perform these actions and others with
21+
your data, for example:
22+
23+
* Create new worksheets and tables.
24+
* Get and manage worksheets, tables, and rows.
25+
* Add single rows and key columns.
26+
27+
You can include actions in your logic apps that use the output
28+
from Excel Online actions. This connector provides only actions,
29+
so to start your logic app, use a separate trigger, such as
30+
a **Recurrence** trigger. For example, if you create worksheets
31+
each week, you can send email about those new worksheets using
32+
the Office 365 Outlook connector.
33+

38+
> The [Excel Online for Business](/connectors/excelonlinebusiness/)
39+

42+
43+
## Prerequisites
44+
45+
* An Azure subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription,
46+
<a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/free/" target="_blank">sign up for a free Azure account</a>.
47+
48+
* An [Office 365 account](https://www.office.com/)
49+
for your work account or personal Microsoft account
50+
51+
Your Excel data can exist as a comma-separated
52+
value (CSV) file in a storage folder, for example, in OneDrive.
53+
You can also use the same CSV file with the
54+
[flat-file connector](../logic-apps/logic-apps-enterprise-integration-flatfile.md).
55+
56+
* Basic knowledge about
57+
[how to create logic apps](../logic-apps/quickstart-create-first-logic-app-workflow.md)
58+
59+
* The logic app where you want to access your Excel Online data.
60+
This connector provides only actions, so to start your logic app,
61+
select a separate trigger, for example, the **Recurrence** trigger.
62+
63+
## Add Excel action
64+
65+
1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), open your
66+
logic app in the Logic App Designer, if not already open.
67+
68+
1. Under the trigger, choose **New step**.
69+
70+
1. In the search box, enter "excel" as your filter. Under the actions list,
71+
select the action you want.
72+
73+
1. If prompted to sign in to your Office 365 account, choose **Sign in**.
74+
75+
Your credentials authorize your logic app to create a
76+
connection to Excel Online and access your data.
77+
78+
1. Continue providing the necessary details for the selected action
79+
and building your logic app's workflow.
80+
81+
