Dealing with starting Excel desktop with a file created in your own flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 77

Hello,

 

I am looking for a way how to open a file created in your own flow in excel. This is because, according to the error message, it should be a specific destination folder and not a variable. Anyone have a clever method how to do this anyway?

I have already tried this with wildcards considering the file always has the same first 2 words. But this too gave an error.
