    Dear Partner,

    Power Automate flows don't really have a User Interface. They are designed to run as workflows in the background. So there really is no way to open an Excel file from the flow directly. But after you return from the flow to Power Apps you should be able to use the Launch() function to open the Excel doc in Excel Online using a link to the file stored in OneDrive or SharePoint.

     

    You can also achieve the same using PAD.

     

    Did I answer your question? Please consider to mark my post as a solution to help others.

     

    Regards,

    Mohamed Sanuj Basheer
