Hi,

I am facing a problem.

In my Power Apps, I update the data from OneDrive Excel with a prompt: A network error occurred while using the Patch function: the requested resource has been locked. This is because my oneDrive Excel file was opened by someone else.

There is no programmatic answer to this. If a user locks the file, it is locked; there is no way to force unlock it.
