Does Hiding Columns affect flows?

General question unless there is a solution. I have previously ran into issues with flows that tie to an Excel Sheet when columns are hidden. The flows are automated and will error out but when I unhide the columns the flows work. Is there a trick? Then I don't have a sample error right now. Trying to get ahead of the problem because a section wants to hide some columns in an Excel sheet that they use to feed an app and a SharePoint list.

Hi @Ferminaterz

What exactly fails, like don't say an action, what action and why? I know you said you dont have a sample, but don't you have runs that have failed??

GO look into the 28 day history and find one, really need to see it.

That or you need to use a Script to unhide and one to Hide

Then you call their script to Unhide first in PA, then call Hide when you are done.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

It has been a minute since it last happened. Tried to recreate it but no luck but do you happen to have a sample script on how to unhide/hide rows or is it an option for one of the actions in Power Automate already.
