The dynamic invocation request failed with error: Trying to create flow with Excel Imported SharePoint tabled data

Wanted a simple Flow: Excel row - send email 

Easy Right? WRONG!! 😠

 

Our plan seems to have created an issue. Not really sure how I going to be able to "trick" excel into connecting but I wont give up.

 

  1. Imported SharePoint list to excel
  2. Used power query to adjust table to our needs
  3. Created simple FLOW from template: Excel to Outlook

BUT oh noooooo not simple

The system detected this table/file has dynamic content - so 
WHAM! This was in the 'Select Table' field of the Excel file action

The dynamic invocation request failed with error: Unexpected error occurred when calling the ApiHubsRuntime API: 'Microsoft.Azure.ProcessSimple.Data.Entities.Exceptions.ProcessSimpleDataException: The ApiHubsRuntime API call failed with http status code 'BadGateway' and response content '{ "error": { "code": 502, "source": "msmanaged-na.azure-apim.net", "clientRequestId": "8ad2ab7f-7ffc-435d-ae1a-6a75-1f4ccc38", "message": "BadGateway", "innerError": { "status": 502, "message": "This workbook cannot be edited because it contains the following features:\r\n\r\n• SharePoint lists\r\n\r\nTo edit this workbook, open the workbook for viewing, select Save a Copy from the File tab, and edit the new copy.\r\nclientRequestId: 8ad2ab7f-7ffc-435d-ae1a-6a75-1f4ccc38", "error": { "message": "This workbook cannot be edited because it contains the following features:\r\n\r\n• SharePoint lists\r\n\r\nTo edit this workbook.....there was more but I think I made the point

    Hi @DublinOH_User ,

     

    Not sure the issues in the two links are related.  Have a look at this one here.

     

    The workaround appears to be saving a copy.

    @eric-cheng

    Thank you for the reply.

    I did see the article on the check-in/check-out a CSV version of the file.
    So for now the only solution may be the following


    1. Create & Save fileA in libraryA where excel imports the sharepoint list, and then set the refresh schedule and load queries
    2. Create libraryB and place CSV_FileB in that library - then add to the flow linked below, 
    3. Add actions needed  to check-out  and refresh CSV_FileB
    4. Then follow the linked solution

    Oh sure.... no problem 🙄
    Will let everyone know if it works
    Wish us luck 🤞
