Excel Run Script BadRequest Error 400

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hi.

 

My "Run Script" actions have suddenly started giving the following BadRequest error:

"statusCode"400
"message""We were unable to run the script. Please try again.\nThe server experienced an issue and couldn't run the script. Please try again in a few moments.\r\nclientRequestId: 070463c4-91a2-4832-88aa-5c0398212f60"
 
I can confirm that "Run Script" was working at 5PM (UTC+3). I have not changed anything from my side, so I'm suspecting it is a server side issue as the error is saying?
 
Appreciate any feedback from community members or employees.

    Hi @Ibrahim_IAE ,

     

    This is a common question raised here.  What I can share form many threads and from my own experience, something has changed in your spreadsheet that is preventing the script from running.  Here's a small list of things to check:

     

    1) A user added a column that is breaking your script;

    2) A user added a merged cell somewhere;

    3) A worksheet is not configured properly and effecting the initial load;

    4) You have a variable that is null when a value is expected;

    5) There's a sync issue popping up on this workbook blocking a script.

     

     

    These are just some of the top issues I have seen and experienced myself; especially when you are talking about a flow/script that was previously working.

     

    One way to check this is to resubmit a previously successful run and check the outcome.  If a previous run that was successful is now unsuccessful, please revisit the list above.

    Hi @trice602,

    My flows started working after creating this post by about 1 hour. I haven't changed anything from my side during this whole process, so it seems the issue was resolved from the server's side.

     

    Appreciate your input.
