"Retrieving data. Wait a few seconds and try to cut or copy again"

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Rory87 21

Hi All,

 

I made a flow which took data from Microsoft Forms and created a word file with the data.

 

It seemed to work fine but looking at the files today random answers state "Retrieving data. Wait a few seconds and try to cut or copy again" this is not always the same answers.

 

I have run the same files again today and the problem persists.

 

Any thoughts on this one?

    Hi All,

     

    Sorry I did not think to check the form first, the error is actually with Forms not power automate the phrase "Retrieving data. Wait a few seconds and try to cut or copy again" was on the form.

     

    The power automate is working perfectly.
