MS Form editing a password protected excel file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello, I have an MS form linked to an excel file via a Power Automate flow. The excel file needs to be password protected, however, when i put password protection on the file, the Power Automate flow fails and the excel file isn't updated with the new response. Is there a way around this?

Error "The request is forbidden by Graph API. Error code is 'PasswordProtectedWorkbook'. Error message is 'Forbidden'."

    Hi @Adam29,

    I understand clearly about your situation and feelings.

    However, the connector doesn't work with password protected spreadsheets. There is no way to work with them other than removing the password.
