the file does exist in the location. Any reason as to why this is happening?
Are you picking the file and document as static values using the controls or are you using dynamic content values? If you are using dynamic content values then you need to wrap them in an EncodeDataURI() function to translate spaces and special characters. That's the most common reason for this error.
i am picking the file like so , using the picker on the right -
please advise on what to do from here.
Then I'm not sure what is the problem. Usually this only happens when you are accessing the file dynamically or creating it earlier in the program. It can also be a problem if you copy the Excel file overtop of the original outside the flow.
Hi @wonka1234
Are you taking data from sharepoint ?
@Pstork1 the file is created(deleted and recreated each time it runs) with another flow before the above flow is ran.

@Nived_Nambiar yes it is stored on a sharepoint.
@Pstork1 so in my other flow that creates the copy of the excel file, i need to wrap which part with the encodeUriComponent() ?
Not the one where you create the Excel file. You need to wrap the path of the file in the encode function when you use the path to read the file in the List Tables action.
