Created file not opening

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

When the flow is triggered, I would like to copy an excel file from SharePoint folder A, and place a copy of it in SharePoint  folder B.  Then I want to rename the file in B to be "N-YYMMDD". 

 

I am able to copy the file into B with the original file name, and am able to open it.

Next I create a copy of this file and name it to N-YYMMDD.

The flow executes completely, but when I try to open the N-YYMMDD file, I get an error: This workbook couldn't be opened because the file format may not be matching with the file extension.

 

How can this I fix this to open the new file?

    Hello 

    The create file is not creating the file with a correct format 

    You can create the file inside a OneDrive and then get the content from OneDrive and create in SharePoint
