    Hi @LalaLa 

    Try using 'Read text from file' action

    Hi @Anonymous 

    You mean the action in ms excel or Power Automate?

    It's a Power Automation Desktop action.

    Use 'Read text from file' with your downloaded file. This action has an 'Encoding' argument which can be set to 'UTF-8'

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

     

    Unfortunately, I use a Power Automate Cloud and The way to use Power Automation Desktop is may unacceptable for my project.

    Maybe there are others having the same issue who just found another workaround that might fit here?

    Hi @LalaLa 

    In this case, since this is a Power Automate Desktop forum, I believe you may have more answers if you post your question in the Building Flows forum.

    Good luck!
