I want to do this following with the help of powerapps. Please confirm if thse are possible:

1. Open/new excel workbook (online in onedrive)

    Unfortunately, I don't think PowerApps can do what you're after. It could amend the filename of a file, but it is not able to convert file types like that.

    Hi @at615209 :

    Agree with @BCLS776 ,I'm afraid that is not available.But you can embed a flow into powerapps to achieve similar functions.

    The Flow:

    1\Add the flow into the app

    2\Add a button and set it's OnSelect property to:

    'PowerAppV2->Getfilecontent,Deletefile,Getfileproperties,Crea...'.Run(443)

    Best Regards,
