Power Automate - Sharepoint unlock excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by LNeaga_Next 12

Hi,

 

We built a flow through when an e-mail is received, the excel file attached is automatically saved in a SharePoint folder.

 

The problem we have is that, the excel file is locked, with a password. We have the password but we don't know how to unlock it.

 

Is there possible to unlock the excel file saved in SharePoint manually introducing the password or automatically using Power Automate flow?

 

Thank you!

    there should be no issues unlocking the password protected excel file using sharepoint or if you download the file to and opening it on the computer, it should work unless you've gotten the password wrong.

    Hi!

     

    Thank you! I want to unlock the excel file with password(protected) using Sharepoint, but I don't know how. Do you know any option? I don't want to download the file and the open it, because is integrated in on PA flow.

     

    Thank you!
