A problem occurred while performing the 'Save' action. Failed to save Excel document

Posted on by 81

I have a Desktop flow that reads one excel file and copies data to another excel file. It has worked fine for a long time, but now it is getting an error when saving the excel file I'm writing to.

All I get is:
"A problem occurred while performing the 'Save' action. Failed to save Excel document"

 

Both files are on OneDrive.

What am I doing wrong? What has changed?

    Have you verified the variable holds the correct value? 

    Make sure you are able to open the file and save it; sometimes I've had issues with the workbook not closing out properly, and then it thinks that somebody else has it locked....
