Automate email sending from excel file

Posted on by
Hello all
 
Hoping for some help for a power automate novice. Not sure what I want is even possible.
 
I have a daily file generated and saved down on a shared folder (not a sharepoint). Once a week, I take a screenshot of a table from that file, and email to the same people.
The owner / creator of the file is reluctant to allow macros in the file.
 
Is it possible to generate a flow, which is triggered perhaps when the new daily file is generated, take the screenshot and generate & send the email? This will allow me to (a) not worry about doing this myself, and (b) ensure the table gets seen daily instead of weekly
 
Many thanks in advance

    Is the file saved in a place that Power Automate can access? You say not SharePoint, may be Onedrive? Or do you have a data gateway of its a fileshare?
     
    Then you could build a flow to convert the Excel file to an image and add it to an email
