Power automate: Excel Office script blocks moving Excel file to another folder

Posted on by Rtg65000

Hello,

I want to use power automate to run an office script on an Excel file, use some information in the file to make an approval request. If the Excel file is approved, the last step is to move it to another SharePoint folder.

The problem comes from moving the excel file, it is locked by the script (error 400).

Do you have any ideas?

Hi @Rtg65000

could you share the error details ?

Also are you trying to do everything within script itself ?

Thanks & Regards,

I saw a while technique as long as the file is not unlocked. After 5-6 min, the file is unlocked from the script and I can move it. It's not ideal but it works.
Thank you for your answer.
