See if the attached workflow helps.  It uses this EXE:  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\excelcnv.exe"

a fantastic app that takes a directory path and converts all xls files to csv or .xlsx respectively.

Try writing out Powershell commands to a batch file (extension .ps1), then running the batch file.

 

Google Powershell convert to XLSX or save as XLSX
