Microsoft Excel (OneDrive)

Use the Microsoft Excel (OneDrive) node to automate work in Microsoft Excel, and integrate Microsoft Excel with other applications. n8n has built-in support for a wide range of Microsoft Excel features, including adding and retrieving lists of table data, and workbooks, as well as getting worksheets. The node operates on workbooks stored in OneDrive.

Credentials

This node's Authentication dropdown offers three options:

• Excel OAuth2: the Microsoft Excel-specific OAuth2 credential (default).

• Microsoft OAuth2 (Graph): a generic Microsoft Graph credential that you can reuse across other Microsoft nodes. When you select this option, make sure you grant the credential the scopes this node needs (for example, Files.ReadWrite, or Files.ReadWrite.All if that's the permission your administrator has consented).

• Microsoft Entra Service Principal (App-Only): app-only access through a Microsoft Entra app registration, with no signed-in user, available from version 2 of the node. Refer to Microsoft Entra Service Principal credentials for setup and required application permissions.

Refer to Microsoft credentials for guidance on setting up authentication.

Government Cloud Support

If you're using a government cloud tenant (US Government, US Government DOD, or China), make sure to select the appropriate Microsoft Graph API Base URL in your Microsoft credentials configuration.
