Note: I assume that the error may occur in the "Add a row into a table" action, you could configure a Run after action under the "Add a row into a table" action, if the "Add a row into a table" action failed, send a failure email notification to yourself. I have made a test on my side and please take a try with the following workaround: If they rename to file, it opens normally the first. The problem is not restricted to any one computer, but goes away when the file is saved and opened from the users PC. In addition, you could consider take a try to configure Run after action for the error step (the action where the error occurs) within your flow. When a user opens up a spreadsheet which has already been opened by another user, they get the usual notification that the file has been locked for editing by username. This is not an intermittent problem, but it affects only this file (others open normally) and has done so for the last four weeks or so. There is no direct way to overcome this issue in Microsoft Flow currently, you could not complete your task within your flow until the another user closes the editing Excel file. The message, 'microsoft excel locked for editing' pops up when trying to open it, and you can either do a 'read only' or 'notify'. Its an Excel file, and every now and then someone will forget to close out of it, and it will be inaccessible for hours. The error message told that the Excel file is currently checked out or locked for editing by another user. User should not be able to add new row User should not be able to change / alter cell format for any of the cells in excel file In order to achieve this, we thought of two options. I have an issue with a file that is used by multiple people in multiple locations. Hi you please share a screenshot of your flow's configuration?
