Graph API is unable to open the workbook

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I have created the simple test Sharepoint workflow via Power Automate but this will prompt '

'Graph API is unable to open the workbook' error while I add the feature of 'List rows present in a table'. 
 
Have anything wrong of my situation or this is blocked access with Microsoft?

    Hi @Kaho 

     

    Can you check and confirm that the excel file you are trying to access form Power Automate is not open in the browser or checked out by any user? 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi Yashag,

     

    Thanks for your kindly uppdate information.

     

    I have confirm that the excel file is not open in the browser and checked out by other users as this is set to private only.

    Hi @Kaho 

     

    Can you try creating a single step flow that is manual trigger and list rows present in a table?

     

    Can you try selecting the file and the table from the folder icon and the dropdown respectively instead of typing in a manual value and try once? 

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi Yashag,

     

    I'm already using single step flow for manual tigger and list rows present in a table.

     

    But while I selected the excel file, the 'table' will not dropdown anything and prompt 'Could not retrieve values, graph GPI is unable to open the workbook'workflow_3.PNG

    Hi @Kaho , did you have any success in resolving this? I am encountering the same issue and our IT team can't figure it out...

    Hi All,

     

    I have just been working on this issue, what fixed it for me was to completely delete the connector, Data (on the left) -> Connections -> three dots next to the excel online connector and delete. It warns of the flows that are using it, make a note and delete the connector.

     

    Now open a flow that was using it and go to the action with the issue. Click the three dots in the top right and instead of clicking on fix connection, create a new one. Sign in as normal. Then test again.

     

    Hope this helps.
