'The requested range does not exist in the sheet.' error when creating file in Sharepoint using Flow. Can anyone help on how to fix this?

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am trying to pull an attachment from Outlook and saving it to a Sharepoint folder using Microsoft Flow. The file does save, but when I try to open it, it gives me this error: "The requested range does not exist in the sheet." And when I try to open the file using the Excel desktop App, the file is blank (see screenshot below). Any thoughts on fixing this?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Could you please share your flow with detail steps? It seems the file has not been saved correctly. If you created the flow using template, please add a step "Gat attachment" below the trigger:

    Hope this helps.

    HI @v-jefferni , here is my flow: trigger is when an email arrives:

    dancelmarie_0-1644483293529.png

    then, I get the attachment and save it on the designated folder. Is there any additional step we should include?

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    What is in the File Content field of Create file action? It seems like you have used wrong dynamic content. My flow steps are as follows:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @v-jefferni, Thank you for this. However, when I followed this flow, the saved file still gives me the same error mentioned above.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    It's quite strange... Have you checked the excel file from in the Email attachment? What type is this file? Can any other excel files created by this flow work correctly?
