Power Automate-Outlook-Excel

Hello!

I have created a flow in Power Automate to send a scheduled email via Outlook with an Excel file attached. The flow works and sends the email as scheduled, but the Excel file that is attached is not the spreadsheet I need. It is a document that I need to open in Word to view and it is filled with "code". I have the spreadsheet saved on OneDrive as an .xlsx file. This is the flow currently.

    Hi @Paul1617 ďĽŚ

    Please replace the Get work sheet with Get file metadata and Get file content.

    I did a test for your reference.

    In my scenario:
