In 3rd action the file path may have quotation marks ("c/user/folder/path.xlsx") remove the front and back quotation marks

Apparently it is a common problem with Automation Anywhere, in this link you can see some possible causes and solutions. A solution that works well is to change the package used, but reinstalling office also helps.
