In the above compose I am passing expression as  : base64ToStringoutputs('Get_file_content_using_path')?['body']['$content']

I am processing excel file in that only 3 columns ,trying to get the data in content but showing above error.

New to Power Automate. Helps me a lot. Thanks in advance.

    @Binni for you to read excel content you should be using List rows present in a table action, refer below link

    @jinivthakkar  Thanks for helping . I am trying to get the column details (header name) which is present in my excel file. Any help here.

    @Binni if you use the List rows present in a table action, it will give you the headers ? I think you did not check the blog url, check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPaJVdx_k2E
