Excel (Business) problems : flow suspended, no DLP

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TDF_Florian

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a simple flow :

- IF a file is created in a Sharepoint folder SO add a line in a Excel table.

 

I've tried with all Excel connector, with a file based on OneDrive For Business.

-> Excel : works BUT not stable. We often got "File is locked", impossible to work with that. No matter if we close the file, and so on.

-> Excel Online (Business) : flow is suspended, but we haven't DLP.

-> Excel Online (OneDrive) : admin needs to grant access to validate it

 

The best selection seems to be Business, but it seems DLP is blocking it. I did a check with admin, and we haven't DLP policies in place (through Admin Center panel).

 

So, why ?

 

Best regards.

    Hi,

    As your description, I have made a flow for your scenario, please check it for a reference.

    It runs successful as blow:

    You said in the flow, it haven’t DLP of Excel Online (Business).I suggest you to rebuild the flow for another try.

    And could you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration? Then I can do more analysis for you.

     

    Best Regards,

    Zhongys
