Guys,

 

I have been following this tutorial by Reza Dorrani to create a table in Excel through Power Automate from a SharePoint list set of data.

 

I am not really sure why I am getting this error:

 

The request is forbidden by Graph API. Error code is 'AccessDenied'. Error message is 'Could not obtain a WAC access token.'.
clientRequestId: b1260540-71fe-4787-9ac0-22ca71346d33
serviceRequestId: 2b0c22b2-1886-424d-9a43-ac5a81b371ef

 

 

I tried deleting and adding a new excel connection on Power Automate, but I had no success. I ran out of articles with solved solutions so I am creating this one. I am hoping it is something wrong within the flow, eventhough I could not find it.

 

This is my flow:

I am openned to other suggestions as well on how to accomplish this.

Please help?
Thank you so much.

    Guys,

     

    I figured out what it was!

    I forgot to specify the file type on Create File as .xlsx:

    That was a tough one for me, but all good now.
    Thanks for everyone that read the post.
