Launch Excel Doc Thru Sharepoint Not Working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I have a flow that launches an Excel doc that is in a Sharepoint folder. It has always worked except for a previous update where Sharepoint docs were failing. It is now failing again and I recently updated to the new version so I'm wondering if this issue is happening again because nothing else has changed about the doc or flow. Is anyone else having a similar issue or know what might be causing this error?

    @Anonymous Could you please try using terminate action before launching xl.
