    excelOpen --file "C:\\Users\\Alex Virrueta\\Documents\\TipoCambioDolar\\TCDolar.xlsx" Excel_HTML=value
    excelSaveAs --filename "${Excel_HTML}" --fileformat "xlHTML" --closeaftersave

    Error:

    Operation unavailable (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401E3 (MK_E_UNAVAILABLE))

    Hi Alex,

    This seems to be a bug.  I cannot get the ExcelSaveAs to work with any format.  I will log a defect.  To work around this, you could use RPA commands to take control of the Excel window and select the file->save as dialog.  

    Thanks!

    Thanks Nigel

    I used the Save As command and was able to save the file to PDF.
