Batch Macro not valid

I'm trying to create a workflow where i can run the most recent file saved on a SharePoint. The batch Macro i created and saved on the same space in the SharePoint always comes back with an error telling me that the file is not a valid Macro.

If you will share some screenshots that will be useful.

Have you saved it as macro type file?

@Gelo02 can you create a new batch macro with the same functionality and try again?

This would be considerably more helpful if you could provide the actual error message and screenshot of the run where you see it.

I don't even get the opportunity to run the Macro. When I right click the canvas to insert the macro all i get is that the file is not a valid Macro. I have the actual build uploaded on this trail somewhere.

How is the file being saved to sharepoint? Can you download any of the macros saved there - and open them in Notepad? what is the encoding? is it still UTF-8?
