Failed to press button - excel

Hi Guy's

I have four flows which have worked previously. However, they are now all failing at the point of either open the extracted / downloaded excel file from the web site or once open they fail to click on the file button to access the save menu.  Any ideas would be great.  Also if you know of any books that would be useful to a beginner..... Thanks in advance.

    Hi @pka1969 ,

     

    Actions such as manually clicking the save button won't work. Even if it works for a while they eventually fail especially in a Production environment. Should go with SendKeys and manual navigation of menus only when there is absolutely no other option.

     

    You can make use of the "Save Excel" in-built action on the left hand side list of actions in the Desktop tool.

     

     

    You can check for Video tutorial playlist here (can search for more on YouTube)
