move a file but it´s blocked

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 15

I´ve built two flows, the first one get some information from a table in an excel file and insert this information in a list.

After this one, the another flow needs to move the same file(both of them starts with a click in a button from an app).

If I run one or another manually, it works very well, but when I put them together, the second one broke, with the error "Cannot remove the file 'DROP_OFF_DEMANDA_MARGEM/TEMPLATE_MARGEM_VOLUNTARIA (2).xlsm' because it is in locked mode."

I don´t know how can I "close" the file first to move it after.

Someone can help me?

 

Here is the screen of the error, my power Automate languege is Portuguese - Br
