Flow Failing - Unable to Open Dropbox

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
I have a flow that has worked fine for weeks that began failing today. It accesses an Excel file via Dropbox and adds data (from an online survey) to a table in Excel. I am receiving the error message below. The Excel file doesn't appear to be corrupted, as I can open it myself just fine. Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
"status": 400,
"message": "Unable to open excel file. File may be corrupted. Please use Excel to recover the file and try again.\r\nclientRequestId: 64bde130-4e2d-4153-bd95-dcd65867d1fe",

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Please try to recover the Excel file first using Excel according to the method mentioned in the error message.

    Then reconfigure the related action.

    Please take a try again.

     

    Best Regards,
