3- We have created a power automate flow that launches the script

C- Problem

When I execute the script manually, everything works correctly.

But when I run it with Power Automate nothing happens. The data doesn't refresh. (The flow is a success)

I tried with the excel workbook open and with the workbook closed.

 

I'm posting this here to thank you for taking the time to understand my problem.
If you think you can help me please don't hesitate.

Have a great day,

Best Regards,

    Hi @Lonelyx ,

     

    It looks like this is a limitation from Power Automate. According to the Official Docs, it is not possible to refresh most part of the data sources with Office Scripts via Power Automate:
