Amazing video thanks so much. I am trying to open PowerBI desktop using PAD but can’t do it. Is there any other way of doing it?

Hello! Thank you for the videos! I am new in PAD. I open an excel file with sap analysis for excel with run application (If I open it with the Launch Excel Analysis tab disappears) but I want to run a macro that I have to refresh the analysis reports and save it. How will I write these 2 steps?

Well done. Very helpful. Any way to insert a variable? Our workstations use VMs to login user. Thank you!

[@andersjensenorg]

For sure, do you want to do it in the selector or for use in a field? Selector: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXXGnYRtgsyJqrs Field: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2XUq5-NnrWWh5o Kind regards, Anders 👋🙂

Hello, thanks for your video.🙂 Making my first steps in the power automate field. I only get an error message that it failed to write in textbox, but if i use the notepad++ version it works. Do you perhaps have any ideas why this happens with the simple notepad version? Thanks in advance

[@adrienlaveau3969]

Hello. Thanks for the clear video. Is there a way to do that on office 365 Power Automate? To run a simple *.exe? I feel there are safety issue and this is why I do not find the equivalent action there.

[@photelegy]

❓ Is there a way to start a short Flow when I press (shutdown)? Like: - Turn OFF Bluetooth before shutting down. - Mute audio before shutting down.

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Photelegy. You can see Power Automate Desktop RPA, as a way to automate processes for companies (large amounts of repitions). If I was your, I would look at scripting such as AutoHotkey instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3jXmIFrotCKj9U Kind regards, Anders

[@photelegy]

@@andersjensenorg Ok, wow, thank you very much! I'll look into this.

[@ปัญญาแซ่ซุน]

[@MikeReynoldsGrey]

Great video. I've searched high and low for how to use power automate desktop to run/launch a browser app but I must be using all the wrong search words. Browsers let a user save a page as an App which can then be launched from a shortcut icon into its own window without all the browser tools and tabs. I have several i would like to launch with Power Automate Desktop

[@andersjensenorg]

Launch new Chrome. Or Launch new Edge . Thank you so much 🙂

[@NickWindham]

Thanks Anders

[@andersjensenorg]

Thanks a ton, Nick Windham 🤩 Have a great day. Kind regards, Anders

[@NicoletteKasza]
