Write range workbook : cannot access the file (path excel file)

Hello everyone, in my workflow, I’m trying to use Excel within it, but this error message has recently appeared, even though everything was working fine before, I’ve already tried several solutions, including AI assistance, but the error still persists."
. Thank you very much, guys."

Hi @hentsou_mamy,
It seems file was opened by you or someone else try to close and try again.
Or
Use Workbook Instead of Excel Application Scope

If the file is locked, try using the Workbook Activities instead of Excel Application Scope.

@hentsou_mamy,

The error indicates that the file is locked/open in read, write mode by another user or current user and you can’t open it again in read/write mode.

Solutions:

  1. If the file is on local drive and you are sure, you are the only user who accesses the file, use Kill Process activity to kill excel application. This will release the file.
  2. Use Excel Process scope/Use Excel File/Write Range activity to write that data. This works even the file is open by current user.

你把“C:\Users\ADMIN\OneDrive\Bureau\Nouveau dossier(2)\rapport.xlsx”路径下的文件关闭了,你在重新运行程序应该就好了。

Use Kill Process activity to kill excel application before using excel file in any activity
