I am adding rows into an excel sheet table, then after adding all the rows, i am updating the excel sheet file property (Generate=Done), as follow:-
 
 
but i keep getting that the file is locked on the "Update file properties" action. so i define a delay of 1 minute + i did a DoUntil to keep trying to update the excel until its Generate Value = Done.. but still i am getting the same error.
any advice?
