Generating a SharePoint file from collection data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MFEProjects 76

Hi,

 

I'm looking to take a collection from Power Apps and generate a file in SharePoint to hold that data.

I'm not sure what the best file type would be, I'm thinking an Excel table.

What is the best way of going about generating a file in SharePoint and passing the data from the collection into it? I'm assuming Power Automate?

 

Thanks

    @v-liwei-msft 

    Thanks that worked exactly how I wanted but I have a couple more questions.

     

    It is possible to automatically make the top row a header via the flow?

    Also, one of the columns in my collection happens to be another collection. When formatted into JSON for excel it has the two braces on either end. Is it possible to format that out?

     

    Thanks
