What is true about writing data to an Excel worksheet?

Specifying a cell is essential when writing data to an Excel worksheet in Power Automate. This requirement ensures that the automation knows exactly where to place the data within the spreadsheet. Each cell in Excel has a unique identifier, usually a combination of its columns (like A, B, C) and rows (like 1, 2, 3), which facilitates precise data manipulation. By specifying a cell, you ensure that the information is written to the intended location, avoiding any data overwriting or placement errors.

The other options do not align with how data writing works in Excel through Power Automate. While selecting cells can be part of some actions, it is not a mandatory prerequisite for writing data. Writing data to a worksheet requires identifying the exact cell or range where data is to be inserted. The ability to write to any cell without a specific reference could lead to confusion and inconsistency in data management, which is why it is not a standard practice. Lastly, while certain file formats and configurations affect the functionality of Excel, the concept of specifying the exact cell for data writing remains consistent across supported types.
