how can I create a excel file in selected folder by writing on the selected folder and then launch that excel in power automate desktop?
Hi @lisha
I believe the easiest way is the obvious one: 'Lauch Excel' with a blank document, then 'Close Excel' choosing 'Save document as' before closing Excel.
But I have to display the selected folder option and place the excel file on it..
Use 'Display select folder dialog' to select the folder you want, then use %SelectedFolder% variable into 'Close Excel' > 'Save document as' path..
And what about the file name? How can I give the name to the file in close excel> 'save document as' path?
You can use 'Display input dialog' to define it and use %UserInput% variable in the 'Close Excel' as well
