I am trying to create some new subfolders in a folder, as given below:

However, when I try to execute this workflow, I seem to constantly encounter this error:

I have tried storing the current value read from Excel file into a new variable, I have looked around for additional formatting and whitespaces as well - to weed out a few common errors. But the error still persists. All advices, feedbacks and resources are heartily welcomed.

    Hi,

    This error may occurs due to some whitespace present in the in value (RO874232) so that its not able to create folder

    so you can try to used trim text action after TaxIDFolderName variable and provide input value of TaxIDFolderName this variable to trim text action then used the output of trim text action to create folder.

     

     

    (Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

     

    Thanks & Regards

    Hi, this solution does sound pretty solid. However, I just checked the Excel file I am using and the contents do not seem to have any whitespace in them. But I'll try to implement this solution and see if I missed something. Thanks for commenting!
