Excel - Failed to initialize workbook handle, no excel process available

Hi! First post on the forums so the question may be a bit stupid.
I’m making an Excel automation that involves separate Workflows and I want to have all of the Workflows on a Flowchart through invoking. Problem is, each time I try-- it keeps telling me:
Failed to initialize workbook handle, no excel process available

I’ve tried to:

  • Use classic activities instead.
  • Switched it around (like adding the process/app scope in the main flowchart rather than separate workflows)
  • Used “Use Existing Workbook”

I love problem solving but I’ve been stuck on this for a minute, I’m new to UiPath and it’s really fun!

Thank you so much.

Hi, if you’re using Excel application scope, can you check if Excel is installed in your machine?

3

Of course it is installed.

Can you share a screenshot of your workflow? I’d also suggest you give this a try with workbook activities.

Kindly share some screenshot of your code. We should be able to help you after that

Hi all,
Somehow it resolved itself. I didn’t do anything different than before other than just to wait a day :laughing:

Possibly was just an Excel issue, not a UiPath issue.

Thank you!
