Excel refresh flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello,

 

I was using a script that worked so far to refresh some Excels containing Power Queries.

 

The flow would open an Excel Instance, open the file in question, do the sequence CtrL+Alt+F5 to launch a refresh, wait, save and close.

 

Worked perfectly so far. Than I did the latest update of Power Automate (maybe the issue comes from here) and the flow that worked perfectly now no longer works :

Seems to be an issue with the steps to input Ctrl+Alt+F5, but i don't undersatnd why this suddenly happens.. Can anyone help ?

 

Thank you all !

 

Cheers,

 

PS : annnnnd of course that flow is ESSENTIAL to everything I'm doind 😉

    Maybe if this is not your version, can you update and try?

     

    Thanks,
