Hello! 

I was having 2 flows seperate and they work both good. I tried to combine them by putting them after each other and now I get this error: 

The file https://straatmanbv.sharepoint.com/sites/StraatmanApps/DocumentenVernieuwenPowerApps/Straatman - Bonregelid exportlijst.xlsx is locked for shared use by stagiair@straatmanbv.nl [membership].

serviceRequestId: 87e397d7-2114-4c71-afbd-d90fe77ea92e

What can I do about this?

    If your flow is using excel sheet and you ran flow, it locked the excel sheet for 10 min. you can only delete that file. you have to wait for at least 10 min to release that lock. 

    Put delay action in your flow this may help you.

     

    Thanks
