Only changed one email address in the flow. Error message:

 

Flow save failed with code 'DynamicOperationRequestClientFailure' and message 'The dynamic operation request to API 'excelonlinebusiness' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code 'Conflict'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 409, "message": "Graph API is unable to acquire or refresh a lock on the file because it is already locked. Please close edit sessions and try again.\r\nclientRequestId: 6500e7df-be17-4151-8f8a-45e01089fd87\r\nserviceRequestId: fd669b73-099f-489d-bda4-fe2fce271eee", "error": { "message": "Graph API is unable to acquire or refresh a lock on the file because it is already locked.

Which file could this be referring to?

    Can you also post a screenshot of the flow?

    This error message suggests that the Excel Online API is returning a "Forbidden" status code, with a specific error message of "EditModeWorkbookCheckedOutRequired". The message goes on to explain that in order to edit the workbook, it must first be checked out from the folder on the server, and then edited in Excel again. It appears that there is a problem with checking out the workbook from the folder on the server.

    Thank you. I discarded checkout on the Excel file on Sharepoint online, and now have the below error:

    ChatGPT response

     

    This error message is indicating that the flow failed because it was unable to acquire a lock on an Excel file. This means that the file is currently open and being edited by another user. To resolve this issue, the user should close any open edit sessions on the Excel file and try the flow again.
