Posted on by 62

Hello I have Share Point folder which has files which is generated from our software application. File is in XLS format. But I need the files as XLSX format to connect to the Power BI.

 

So is there a way I can automate that when a file is created in the share point folder it needs to change that file from .xls to .xlsx extension.

 

Any ideas would help is much appreciated.

 

Thank You.

    I know you can do it in UI flows, but not sure about cloud flows.

     

    Also you can check out the onedrive connector, not sure if it can make a xls to xlsx but worth checking out.

     

    Otherwise i believe there are premium connectors able to do it.
