My goal is to Split an excel workbook such that there is only one sheet per Excel workbook.
 
@DamoBird365 I used your video reference from youtube and followed the steps.
 
The issue is -
 
The second script (Deletesheets.osts) does not run in powerautomate and it gives me this error:

You can see here the code I am using for the office script is the same from the video

A- code used in video.
B- office script code I am using.
 
 
I would appreciate help from this community, since I have been breaking my head on this task since last week.
 
Appreciate your time and help in advance.
 
Thanks.

    is the office script hosted in the file you are trying to modify?

    I am not sure, what you mean by script hosted in the specific file or not? I can access all my office scripts through any new excel file I create.

    But you shouldn't.  Better to have a dedicated file that hosts the scripts, but is otherwise not involved in the flows.

    I figured the issue I had.

    Need to toggle on the right so that it takes the input as an array.
