Launch Excel not working?

Anyone know why my "launch excel" flow does not work today? anyone else?

 

It was working yesterday, but just timeout today. Even if I make it just a blank document.

I have the same question (0)

    @Pmorg73, I just had exactly the same problem with an existing document, but a blank doc opened okay.

    To be able to open a existing .xlsx I had to delete what was in there and re-select with the folder selection option of the action. Then it worked fine.

    Strange!

     

    EDIT: Whatever this bug/feature was it affected all my flows with Excel.

    Mine is still failing with a blank doc. I will try to delete and add a new one now just to check. Its a pain as I am debugging further on in the flow and can not get there anymore to check out my changes this morning grrr

    I'm pretty sure I had a corrupted file path to my docs, so maybe we're not having the same issue. I didn't have any trouble with a blank doc. Good luck!

    I even started a new flow from scratch and it would not work.....hopefully a glitch that solves itself tomorrow
