Office Script getRange Error: Cannot read property 'getRange' of undefined

Hello,

I am building a Cloud flow that runs an Office Script on each .xlsx file in a folder. When I run the script within a particular .xlsx instance in Excel Online, the script works perfectly. But, when using the 'Run Script' Excel connection/action in PA, I get the following error: "\nRuntime error: Line [line number]: Cannot read property 'getRange' of undefined\r"

What am I doing wrong? Is this a relative reference (that is disallowed in Power Automate)? Or something else?

function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
// ... 

let _3__Data_Types_Used = workbook.getWorksheet("3. Data Types Used");
// Delete row 1 on _3__Data_Types_Used
_3__Data_Types_Used.getRange("1:1").delete(ExcelScript.DeleteShiftDirection.up);
	
// ... 
}

Ultimately, I am not committed to any syntax or strategy--I just want to successfully delete Row 1!

Hey @cnjahu, thanks for your question! The script you shared works fine for me in Power Automate. From the error you're encountering, it looks like _3_Data_Types_Used is undefined, which likely means the worksheet you're trying to get doesn't exist in the workbook. You've mentioned this script works fine if you run it in Excel Online - can you double-check that the workbook file you've selected in Power Automate contains the selected sheet, with an exact match to the name? Additionally, does any previous step in your flow modify the workbook?
