An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded. Not sure how to fix this!!

I had a flow that was working for weeks, then went untouched for a couple weeks and now all of a sudden it is no longer working like it used to. I am getting this error "An action failed. No dependent actions succeeded." on my For Each when trying to add rows into an excel table. In the screenshots it shows that the action prior to this succeeded and there are valid inputs being parsed above from a stored procedure. The data matches up and use dto populate the excel file but for some reason no longer does.
 

What the flow does (relevant bits)

  1.  

    Create file (SharePoint) → use body/Id for Excel actions.

  2.  

    Create table (Has headers = true) on new sheets. Output exposes body/name (GUID-like string), not id.

  3.  

    Apply to each (Header)Add a row with Row keys matching headers (e.g., No., Sell-to Customer No., Document Date), dates ISO when tested.

Observed behavior

  • Using Table = Create table → body/name or literal table name still fails.

  • Even a one-column Row (e.g., { "No.": "TEST-HEADER-1" }) fails with “item must be provided”.

  • Looks like the connector sometimes treats Table as empty or the Row as {} right after table creation.


     

Troubleshooting tried


     
  • Re-added actions (to avoid schema cache), small Delays, switched to item() inside loops, verified header text (no merges), tested List tables present and filtered by name → still intermittent failure.

  • Confirmed correct File Id (Create file → body/Id).

    If you are building tables and if its in Excel, you will have to add a Delay action that waits up to 10 minutes before it shows and works properly so that you can update item.
