Flow suddenly cannot access Excel table

Hi

 

I have a flow set up which takes Form responses and puts them in an Excel table.  This has been running for some time with no problem.  I have not made any changes recently to the flow set up or table properties.  The flow has stopped and has the following error:

 

Status
Failed
Error
Action 'Add_a_row_into_a_table_-_WORKING_COPY' failed

 

 

I have checked and the table name has not been changed.

 

I tried editing the flow, reselecting the location of the table and choosing the table which appears fine in the drop down list.  However it then won't allow me to save the flow and brings the following error:

The dynamic operation request to API 'excelonlinebusiness' operation 'GetTable' failed with status code 'NotFound'. This may indicate invalid input parameters. Error response: { "status": 404, "message": "The requested resource doesn't exist. clientRequestId: 2dea612f-0ffd-41d7-9468-bb748ee9678a serviceRequestId: 0479b8ff-c65c-47f8-b6e8-4bc6013c5885", "error": { "message": "The requested resource doesn't exist." }, "source": "excelonline-we.azconn-we.p.azurewebsites.net" }

    Flow suddenly cannot access Excel table
    I have the same error message. 

    The step in my flow is to add an row in an excel spreadsheet on a OneDrive. The problem is that the OneDrive account is different than the PowerApp account. 
     
    So what I have done is in OneDrive, to give permission to the PowerApp account to edit the folder and the spreadsheet. 
     
    I also added delay for 30 seconds before and after adding the record in the flow.
     
    This seems to fix it for me.

    Try this in your Excel file:

    It worked for me.

    Make sure you choose a table format from the dropdown menu.

    I tried what you said and also created new tables.  I really think this is a connector problem, not a permissions problem.

    In my case, I am the Owner, so I don't see how this is happening.

    Re: Flow suddenly cannot access Excel table

    I am having the same issue.  The problem started on March 9, 2024 on or about 3:30PM (Pacific).  I started seeing `Error Status Code = Unauthorized` and from that time and date forward, my account cannot use the [Excel (OneDrive)] connector.

     

    I have removed all connectors and deleted the Cloud Flow, and recreated everthing manually in the flow.  Same issue as seen below.  I have also checked permissions and sharing on the file and see no issues.  Initially the flow ran without sharing enabled, but I have added a share for someone to help me.  Either way it still isn't working.

    For me similar thing happened when I was trying to take input from the power apps and exporting to excel using power automate flow. After trying multiple methods and solutions, I discovered that it was a problem of permissions to the excel file. If the user does not have edit access to the excel, it throws the "Table Not found" error.

    I faced similar issue. I was able to resolve it by deleting the browser cache, and starting the import process again. I was able to see an option to "save as a new workflow".   ( You may have to close all browser windows if just deleting cache doesn't work. )

     

    If this process works for you, please mark your post as solved.

    Re: Flow suddenly cannot access Excel table

    I've had a similar issues. What worked for me was converting the table to a range, then back into a table. I then went into the flow and chose the "new" table. Everything worked after that. I don't have any idea what happened to the table to make power automate not "see" it any more. If anyone could explain or provide a permanent fix, that would be great. Maybe this trick will work for OP.

    Re: Flow suddenly cannot access Excel table

    I wonder whether the connection is more likely to fail if 1. The flow is shared, meaning that there are multiple users that could be triggering the bug, or 2. dual authentication is causing the connection to break. My university requires reauthentification whenever I log into Office 365 from another location, and also just at random times. Could that be the problem?

    I recreated my connection and now all my other flows that are dependent on this connection is failing and I still don't know how to fix it
