Help with XLSX to CSV

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by GoodwinM 8

Hi,

I am trying to create a desktop flow to automate my data imports into access. part of the flow renames a downloaded file, converts to CSV from Excel and then moves it to the required folder. When I go to open the converted CSV file it is corrupted. Any ideas on a solution? see images below.

Many thanks

    Hello,

    if your file has an xlsx extension, you cannot change it to csv with the rename action. You can open the file with the Excel action and then save it as .csv with the save as action
