Power automate- xlsx to xls file conversion issue

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 66

Hello All,

I am creating a flow to get sharepoint online list records and create xls file for each record.

Followed below process-

1. get items from sharepoint list

2. get excel file template with table definition

3. foreach item in list, create xls file.

4. add row in created xls file to fill 1 row data. 

 

Issues-

At step 4 its throwing error as table not found. 

Option-

if i tried to create xlsx file with above steps, its working without any issue. But i need output file format in xls (97-2003) excel version. So after getting xlsx file, i tried to convert it in xls file. File is converting but there is no table data in xls after conversion.

 

is there any limitation with power automate/office 365 to support xls files with table please?

Is there any way to fill xls file table in power automate that can work?

Is there any other option to convert xlsx file to xls without data loss?

 

Please help me. 

 

Thanks 

Amod

    yes

    no

    not in Power Automate. There are paid third party converters that claim to be able to do that.
