Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, 

I have a made an application in power app for date addition/updation in  excel file (total 2 no's excel, 2 galley for updation).

some time it requires that data to be copied from one excel to other.

For that I have prepared an flow to transfer data in power app.

When I click button to run flow in power app, data copied in other excel, & when I see in power automate it indicate 2-3 sec (average) to successfully run flow.

after some time (within a minutes) when I check online excel, it shows copied data, but when I refresh browser gallery to see the copied data below message appears. even it appears same message for around 10 minutes. can any one tell how to reduce this time to update data in power app quickly.

If you need more info, then please let me know.

Thanks in advance...

    Hi,

     

    This is a problem with using Excel online files - when you use a resource it is temporarily locked for a while and you will just have to wait for it to unlock before you can perform any action against it.

     

    Cheers,
