Installer version 2.46.161.24186 - Microsoft Store version 11.2407.238.0 updates

New Features

  • ‘Set Color of Cells in Excel Worksheet’ action: You can now customize cell colors directly within your Excel worksheet with this new Excel automation action.

  • Environment routing has now been introduced in Power Automate for desktop, automatically redirecting makers to their own personal developer environment, instead of the default environment.

  • The ‘Go to’ action can now target labels that are used in a different scope (e.g. in a conditional block), except error blocks, loops, and/or other subflows.

Enhancements & Improvements

  • In the ‘Write to Excel worksheet’ action, the named cells option has now been enhanced with a new toggle button, which permits writing the specified input on the entirety of the named range.

  • In the ‘Read from Excel worksheet’ action, the named cells option has now been enhanced with a new toggle button under the Advanced input parameters, which permits omitting any empty Excel columns and rows to the right and at the bottom of the named range respectively.

  • The produced data table variable of the action ‘Search for text on terminal session’ has been extended to also include the length of the found text.

  • The error messages for the action ‘Extract data from web’ have been enhanced to provide clearer guidance.

  • The flow timeout property in the console has been simplified for easier use.

Repaired Functionality

The following list details issues in Power Automate for desktop that are now resolved:

  • An issue regarding duplicate desktop flow binaries, which occurred when a desktop flow was edited in both a source and a target environment and was reimported in the target environment through a managed solution, has now been resolved.

  • When a flow that runs through the console and includes list, custom object, and/or data table output variables, completes its run, the variable ‘View’ button in the outputs window now works as expected.

  • A performance issue on large Power Fx enabled flows has now been resolved.

  • A recorder issue in Power Fx enabled flows, while capturing a click action on a web browser, has now been resolved.

  • The error produced by connector operations, when the expected input parameter is a list variable, has now been adjusted.

  • Web Extract handpicked values: Previously, this feature displayed 2 columns instead of the expected 3 columns - this issue has been fixed.

  • Unhandled exception in PiP (Picture-in-Picture) mode: Running flows from the console no longer triggers unhandled exceptions.

  • SAP Actions – UI element picker highlighter: The element highlighter now stops correctly when canceled.

  • Power Automate agent for virtual desktops localization fix: An issue where the RDP Control agent crashed on some localizations has been addressed.

  • Selector image fallback mechanism: The fallback mechanism now correctly retrieves desktop icons that gain a semi-transparent box when highlighted.

  • Use desktop action error: An error related to the ‘Use Desktop’ action has been resolved.

  • Disable automation browser option for Attach Mode in Recorder: The automation browser option is not available for the Attach to web browser action when using the Recorder.
