Error : Use Sales Results Excel File: Failed opening the Excel file C:\Users\Output\Output_DailyCoffee_ExcelReportsConsolidation\SalesResults_2025-03-09.xlsx. Possible reasons: the file is corrupt, the file is already used by another process, you don’t have permissions to open the file or the file has incorrect sensitivity label.

Hi @kumarsathishchandolu

Please check if the Excel file is already open, Close it and run again.
I can see that you have used a Kill Process activity before the Use Excel, Could you give it a higher Delay After and kill any other Excel process using Task Manager and then Try.

Thanks for your help.
