File ID of an Excel shared file when using 'Get file content'

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 23
Hi all,
I'm using "Get file content" to retrieve the content of an Excel file shared by someone else from their OneDrive, but the action requires the file ID instead of the URL link.
'm not sure how to obtain the file ID. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

    hi FLMike,
    The 'Get file content using path' is not working either, an error appears when I use it

    Hi,
     
    Use the Get File content by Path Action instead
