Hello,

 

My Power Automate desktop flow runs this refreshall code but when I when I call the desktop flow from a cloud flow I get this macro error:

Problem while executing action 'RunMacro'. Failed to run macro (make sure the macro containing file isn't included in the disabled items list).  Can anyone help?

 

Sub UpdateWorkBook()
ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll
End Sub

    I can't figure out how to delete this - I think the file must have been corrupted - it is working now.
