Can't open EXCEL attachments in a SharePoint List
SaettoneRoberto same here, my workaround is to zip them first
Seems it’s a Microsoft issue, which they applied a fix that didn’t work, and so are still working on it.
- Hello, do you have any updates on this issue, I am trying to open excel file attached to SP item and having same error "This workbook couldn't be opened because the file format may not be matching with the file extension."
MZgheib for me it worked when i put the code below for contentbytes in the add attachement to sharepoint element function.
base64ToBinary(items('Auf_alle_anwenden')?['contentBytes'])
hope it works for you too.
Best wishes

AlessioCecchin thanks for the reply, i don't have content type since i am not using get content from onedrive or sharepoint, instead i am using the manual trigger to upload files and then add these files to sharepoint item as attachments. Anyway eventually i had to change my flow's concept since dealing with attachments is very limited and requires lot of work compared to saving files directly to sharepoint folder.
- Is there a solution to this problem? I am facing this with png and pdf files.
