Hello,

 

I am trying to create a flow to get a data file from HTTP and create a file in Sharepoint folder.

The flow was successfully run but when I opened the file that was saved in the Sharepoint folder i got an error message as below:

Excel cannot be open the file 'filename.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid

 

If I download the file from the HTTP manually, the file is in xlsx format and there is no problem opening the file. However, when it was saved from the Power automate flow, it’s not opening. 

The OUTPUTS in the flow that says ‘Click to download. Can you please advise how to resolve the issue?
