    Use the "Get all Excel worksheets" and then "Set active Excel Worksheet" and then go to each of the sheets.

    Also check and tell whether "Get all Excel worksheets" also shows hidden worksheets or not?

    For unhiding refer this MSFT link

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/how-to/unhide-excel-worksheets-vbscript

     

    - So 1st you need to unhide

    - Then "Get all Excel worksheets"

    - and then "Set active Excel Worksheet" to go to that particular sheet

    The vbscript code shows that it has a code to open the Excel. So this is in conflict with the Launch Excel.

    Call the vbscript before the Launch Excel.

    The line number 3 in vbscript shows that it is trying to open excel file contained in variable -> %ExcelFile%.

    Check if you are passing the correct file to the variable.

     

    Before "Run vbscript", use Set variable ExcelFile to the file coming from AllFiles.

    The issue is because you have removed the two lines of code from the script shared in the MSFT link.

    You cannot remove something from the code and expect it to work fine 🙂

     

    Add those two lines and 

    also make objExcel.Application.Visible = False

    so that the opening and closing of Excel by vbscript will not be visible.

    Also Launch Excel should happen after the Run vbscript. Only then the Excel with all unhidden sheets will be launched.
