Re: How to convert XLS to XLSX using Power Flow

I've been asking for this for years now. I'm still converting manually every morning for some clients. Microsoft just keeps ignoring all of the asks for this!

Hi @amsrivas

Not sure how to do it without 3rd party or UI Flows.

I found this article that describes the reverse process that can possibly guide you into a strategy:
