Helper IVHow to convert XLS to XLSX excel via Power Automate flow
Hi,
Is there any way to convert XLS to XLSX excel format using Power Automate Flow.
Note - I dont want to use UI Flow as it is not free.
Thanks
Amit
amsrivas , What I got is UI flow only.
Better you ask this question in power automate community

Good luck!! been trying to get this for 3 years and they have just ignored me.
Hello amitchandak :
These articles not points to a valid solution. They doesn't work. The new file can't not be displayed by excel. I am looking for a valid action. If anybody knows please let us know. Thank you.
This is hit and miss, only works if xls has a single tab, you use a Create file action and on the file name you put:
replace(item()?['name'],'.xls','.xlsx')on file content you put:base64ToBinary(item()?['contentBytes'])

Following up on the suggestion by amitchandak (a Rock Star to the Microsoft PowerBI Community) and others within the tread of this post is the suggestion to create a Community Forum Post in the appropriate Microsoft Power Automate Community Forums rather than one of the Microsoft Fabric Community Forums, where the folks are helpful and often reach and provide guidance from separate communities for inspiration
to the party with a question.
