Excel not updating files or cannot be located

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee
 

Hello.

 

I am creating a Flow to automatically send a message at 10AM to users in an excel sheet. The issue I am running into is that when I add the List rows present in a table and try to find the file to reference, I can't find the excel file that has the list of users to send the automated message to.

 

I have tried many different things to try to troubleshoot including moving the file to a different folder, changing the data within an existing excel sheet and just referencing it, but none of them work.

It seems like the issue is that the dropdown list is not updating and reflecting the proper files no matter what I do.

    Hi @michaelzhou123,

     

    Is the file a macro-enabled Excel file?

    If it is, the fact is Excel Online (Business) connector can only get contents of xls and xlsx files. Working with macro-enabled files is currently not supported yet.
