Issue with retrieving non-empty cell data in Power Automate

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue in my Power Automate flow. I’m trying to retrieve the content of a non-empty cell from an Excel file. However, when I run the automation, I get a message saying that the column is empty, even though the cell actually contains data.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!
