A user recently asked me if this was a limitation of the excel action in PAD, but they are currently using the standard "Launch Excel" action in PAD, and pointing that at an excel file stored in SharePoint. The file opens fine, and I believe they can manipulate the file as needed (they have full control permissions on the site they are working on) but any attempt to save the changes of the excel sheet using either the "Close Excel" or "Save Excel" action results in an error saying the file is read only.
Is this a limitation of the Action?
Most threads here seem to be using onedrive to make PAD think the file is being acted on locally, And I haven't seen any mention of anyone else either attempting this or running into this error.
Is this not possible with the standard excel connector? Do we need to use the Excel Online or switch to Power Automate Cloud?
