Trying to use flows to convert xls to xlsx - SharePoint

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

As the title says I am trying to use a flow to convert xls files to xlsx on SharePoint.

 

I have been using the pre built flow and following the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IacquJvZ20s&t=252s

 

However I cannot get it to cycle through an entire library and have tried replicating the substring that they do not actually provide or give any context to during the tutorial.

 

Here's the substring I've typed out in the raw inputs area:

Any help would be very apricated or alternatives for converting a large amount of xls to xlsx conversion.
