Power Automate Desktop Flow using Run Excel Macro fails to complete Macro

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I can successfully run a flow launching excel and running a macro. However, I don't see the changes made to my file that Macro is in.

If I run the same file offline, not using Flow, the macro runs fine. Any thoughts?

 

Note: In the excel macro VBA, I added some wait time in code to allow for macro to complete.

    Can you share a screenshot of your flow?

    @Agnius - I figured out the issue. I had to correctly define "Save Document As" in action "Close Excel". It works now.
