Posted on by lizg

Hello, I'm creating a flow that automatically generate excel files. The part of generating the files is working but I also want to create tables in this file. The actions of creating the tables is giving me Error 400: The parameter drive has an invalid value. I think the problem is that I have a link to the library where the files are being created. Any help would be appreciate it.

    You have to use the Drive Id instead of Site URL or file path, So use this expression to get the drive id 
    split(outputs('Create_file')?['body/Id'], '.')[0]
