Facing compatibility Mode Issue Opening Converted .xlsx in Power Automate

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 162

Hello Power Automate Community,

I'm facing an issue with my Power Automate flow. After successfully converting an Excel file from .xls to .xlsx, I'm having trouble opening it within Power Automate due to compatibility mode issues.

Problem:

  • Converted .xlsx file not opening smoothly in Power Automate.
  • Compatibility mode issues detected.

    Request for Assistance: Seeking community guidance on resolving compatibility mode issues when opening converted .xlsx files in Power Automate. Any tips or alternative approaches are appreciated.

Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Hitakshi

    Hi @v-xiaochen-msft 
    Thanks for your reply.
    This file is in compatibility mode and was received via email:

    This is my flow:

    This action involves storing files in a SharePoint folder while converting them to the .xlsx format.

    After storing this file, it is not opening. If I use another .xls file, it opens successfully.
