First post on 7/8/2021

My flow used to work well but it suddenly report Failed with Excel connectors.

As the File box is filled with the file Id get with SharePoint connector, Table box is filled with table Id.

I am quiet sure the table Id is correct, and I have built a test flow to check it.

    I have the same problem, the flow in question worked perfectly yesterday but now refuses to find the file or the table.
    No resolution yet, but it has only occurred overnight.

    I'm having the same issue! Flow that has been working fine for the past year is suddenly failing!

    I used a SharePoint "Get file properties" action, and then the Identifier property from that to get Get tables to work. List rows didn't appear to need this work around.
