Read Range: The process cannot access the file ‘****CustID_1111.xlsx’ because it is being used by another process.
*** is the path.
The excel is not open but this error is thrown. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
Background of what I am trying to achieve : I am trying to read some entries from an excel and I want to add these to a queue, pick the data from queue & search relevant data from a website and save corresponding data to another excel.
Check whether the excel file is corrupted or
Check the excel activitiy is in latest versions

Pulled the do block out of excel app scope and the step went through. Thanks again @NIVED_NAMBIAR
I didn’t understand what u said @anon24920977
Did u tried with workbook activitiy?
what do you mean workbook activity? I suppose you are referring to teh Read Range activity?
I was using Read Range under Excel Application Scope. I pulled it out of the scope and used directly. It works.
Can u share screenshot of that workflow
I think the error would be
You had used workbook read range activitiy under excel application scope
So excel application scope is using the excel file
So that is why the error is thrown
Refer for more information
Hope it helps
