[RESOLVED] Create table - The argument is invalid or missing or has an incorrect format

Posted on by 1,597 Super User 2024 Season 1

Hello,

 

I have started building a new workflow where the first action after the manual trigger is "Create table".

 

However, when I run the workflow, I am presented with this error message:

The argument is invalid or missing or has an incorrect format.
clientRequestId: 532bbf84-0c0f-490a-83af-29d3a81ef2a8
serviceRequestId: ed480924-697e-491a-8a8c-22281f86f0ca


Flow:

Excel file:

sudosaurus_1-1637769572154.png

 

Have I incorrectly formatted the Table range? 

Essentially what I'm trying to do here is add a table header to an excel file when it is dumped into a folder as this will happen daily and the file cannot have the table header added to it beforehand.

    My table is incremental

    I don't have a specific range 

    How do I tackle this error?

    Hi,

    I have a question, I don't know how many columns in my excel file so to define the range in this action.

    I solved my problem. I added quotes on either side of the dynamic field. Using a dynamic field in the table name was also a problem, but I was able to use the expressions to achieve the same results. Correcting these two issues finally allowed me to successfully create the table.

    I have attempted this solution for the same issue, but I continue to have the error message as described above. My setup is slightly different as I am creating a worksheet and from there, creating a table. The worksheet creates each time just fine named as the Month and Year. I've changed the table range from A1:Q40 to A1:Q1, but that did not fix it either. I've tried so many different things, that I've finally had to ask for help. Below is what I currently have setup. I appreciate any input.
