Excelfile format or file extension is not valid

Posted on by 26

I have created a flow for when a file is created in the on-premises folder using its ID; it will create the same file in the SharePoint folder. However, when I try to open the Excel file, it displays a message stating that the file format or file extension is not valid.

    To achieve this, you'll need to get the file content from your on-premise file using the 'Get file content using path' or 'Get File Content' action (whichever suits your needs, they both do the same thing, just different inputs).

    Afterward, you can pass this dynamic parameter to the SharePoint 'Create file' action.

    It's not possible to assist you without knowing the details of the error. Could you please provide more information about the specific error message or any additional context? This will help me better understand the issue and offer targeted support.

    There is no folder '*********************' located on your file system. Verify the folder exists or create it before trying to access it.
