I had a small question on Power Automate.

Note: I have created similar Power Automate flows in past (had created similar ones during summer this year and it worked then).

Current issue: I am unable to select a file (have been trying this for 3-4 days now). Is this something you could help with?

I am getting the following error (I am the owner of the file) and this link fails to launch, even when on VPN. Thanks for your help. I get the same error when trying to connect with my OneDrive

Hi,

Check whether the flow is using the correct environment and that your file location (OneDrive/SharePoint) has the proper access permissions.

Try re-authenticating or re-establishing the connection to the Excel file or OneDrive.

Hi @RT-16120108-0,

I had this same issue a few days ago. I had to remove the Excel action and add it again. If it still doesn't work: are you experiencing this issue in other flows, or only in this one in particular?

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
