Power Automate flow for creating an excel template by using a button in power app

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hello there, 

 

Success Flow: I created a power automated flow to populate an Excel template. First, I created an Excel script and then ran the script in Power Automate to populate my template and it's working very smoothly. No issues. The trigger point in this flow was; as soon as new items are added to my SharePoint list it will trigger the flow and run it.

 

Failure: I created another power automate flow, for which the trigger point is a Power app button and it's manual (unlike in the other flow above where the trigger point is a new item added to the list). I tested the flow and there are no errors. The template it is creting, that's giving me an error as below when I open the file.

"This workbook couldn't be opened because the file format may not be matching with the file extension."

 

I can explain it more and provide pictures of my flow if needed.
