Dynamic Spreadsheet not refreshing when opening with Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Teako 2

I created a dynamic spreadsheet that refreshes with the correct data from MS Dynamics 365 when I open it manually. It used to open and refresh whenever I ran my flow.  Now it only loads the last saved version of the file and no refresh rendering my flow useless. I believe I have the correct settings as it performs exactly as expected when I load the file manually.

    Configuration seems ok.

    As a workaround, after opening your Excel you can add those lines to assure data will be updated.

    1. ‘Focus Window’, window class = XLMAIN

    2. ‘Send keys’ {LMenu}({LControlKey}({F5})). Shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F5 (update all connections)

    Thank you, I thought I'd get notified of a response...I'll check this out and let you know. I thought of adding a click to the refresh button. It doesn't make sense as this worked perfectly in the past and then it stopped refresh on open.
