My flow is working on a creating a document in sharepoint but the document type is different. The files are normally excel but they are created in what seems like binary or text.

    Hi,
     
    First, in your Create file action, you can use only the Content Bytes as input for File Content, without the Content Type. For the File Name, you must make sure to include the file extension (.xlsx for Excel ones). This is an example on how the flow looks like:
     
    From your end, you can keep using the outputs from Compose as input for File Name, but make sure to include the file extension on it.
     
    Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
