How to convert XLS to XLSX excel via Power Automate flow

‎04-08-2021 11:02 PM

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

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.
