Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi All,

I am attempting to create a power automate task that takes an emailed excel file, adds two columns with static contents for every row, and then saves the file to a local folder.

What I have created already worked for my test files - however it now throws an error when the spreadsheet is much larger (6000ish rows). The flow runs for approximately 20 minutes and then returns the error code 504, with message "Request to Graph API has timed out"

My Question is - is there a way to change these timeout settings as a workaround (I don't mind if it takes a long time to finish), or is there an alternative method within Power Automate / script suggestions that can accomplish this within the timeout limit?

Thanks!

"error": {

 },

Here is the script I am using:

function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {

 workbook.getApplication().setCalculationMode(ExcelScript.CalculationMode.manual);

 // Adding Class Column
 let range = workbook.getActiveWorksheet().getUsedRange();

 let rows = range.getRowCount();
 let cols = range.getColumnCount();

 range.getCell(0, cols).setValue("class");

 for (let row = 1; row < rows; row++) {
 range.getCell(row, cols).setValue(8);
 }

let updateCols = cols + 1

 range.getCell(0, updateCols).setValue("update");

 for (let row = 1; row < rows; row++) {
 range.getCell(row, updateCols).setValue("Y");
 }

 workbook.getApplication().setCalculationMode(ExcelScript.CalculationMode.automatic); 

}
