Action 'Run_script' Failed

Hello, I received the following error on my Run script in my flow: "We were unable to run the script. Please try again.
Office JS error: Line 5: Workbook addTable: A table can't overlap another table.
clientRequestId: 39e632d2-9e17-4eaa-b8af-c3bd0cbb115c"

My flow is pulling data and importing it into an Excel spreadsheet
 
Here's the output script:
 
{
    "host": {
        "connectionReferenceName""shared_excelonlinebusiness",
        "operationId""RunScriptProd"
    },
    "parameters": {
        "source""sites/***.sharepoint.com,5a206f53-f5f0-4393-9233-f40debbcf70e,cdbf5d29-9e7d-4588-9d78-2f27cd4371b3",

Thanks for sharing! If I'm understanding correctly, your script is trying to create a table over the used range in a worksheet, and the file/workbook is a dynamic parameter passed into the run script action?

 

If so, then your error is probably because you're running the script on a worksheet that already has a table somewhere. You could check this by modifying your script like so:

function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
	let selectedSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
	if (selectedSheet.getTables().length > 0) {
		console.log('This worksheet already has a table. Stopping script.');
		return;
	}
	// Add a new table at range A1:AC141 on selectedSheet
	let newTable = workbook.addTable(selectedSheet.getUsedRange(), true);
	// Rename table newTable to "Charge_Data"
	newTable.setName("Charge_Data");
}

It'd also be helpful to understand how you pass the file parameter into the run script action (i.e., show the previous steps of the flow).

Hi @cswanson22 - it looks like this error is because your script tried to create a table in a range where there's already a table. Try double-checking your script and worksheet to make sure this isn't the case. If you're not able to identify the issue, though, would you be able to share your script, flow, and an example workbook (sensitive data removed as necessary) so we can try to reproduce this?

Hi MichelleRanMSFT, 

 

Thank you for responding. I have attached the 2 files requested. 

Can you share your script code as well?

        "tableId"null
    }
}

By script code, I mean the contents of the script when you open it in the Code Editor in Excel. For example:

That's the best way to help us to understand what your script does and what might be going wrong.

Sorry for the confusion and thank you for your patience
 
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
  // This action currently can't be recorded.
  let selectedSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
  // Add a new table at range A1:AC141 on selectedSheet
  let newTable = workbook.addTable(selectedSheet.getUsedRange(), true);
  // Rename table newTable to "Charge_Data"
  newTable.setName("Charge_Data");
}

Try to get this part of the automation to run to update Power Bi information,

cswanson22_0-1685207051581.png

 

I'm new to this whole and currently learning. I'm trying to fix an issue with a recent failed flow. The information from the table is sent to Power Bi. I updated the code with your information and now getting the current error: Request to Graph was malformed
clientRequestId: f09a1d0e-879a-495f-93c6-62190dfc4dd9

I don't see this clientRequestId anywhere. Thank you and sorry if I'm being a pain in the behind.

Here is the flow and the section that is getting the error. I'm now getting 'Request to Graph was malformed
clientRequestId: 2a5a6e66-a386-47e7-9430-9a4c5cea9f83' after making the changes you sent last week. Thank you

Apologies - since this error isn't coming from the run script action, it's not exactly within my area of expertise. I'd suggest you create a separate thread for this error since (from what I understand) it's not related to your original issue.

You got me a step closer and I appreciate your support. Thank you
