Transform Excel in folder (Sharepoint/OneDrive), save as csv

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 77

Hi all,

 

I need to automatically transform Excel files and save the result as csv. The transformations needed may change often as the Excel sourcefile is subject to change. I can accomplish those transformations easily with Power Query.

 

I have already created a Dataflow in PowerBI that is connected to the OneDrive Folder and does the transformation needed.

 

This is the workflow I would like to achieve: 

1. a User drops the Excelfile in a specific OneDrive Folder

2. the Dataflow refreshes the the Data

3. the result of the Dataflow/PowerQuery transformation is saved in this folder as a csv file

 

Is there any way to accomplish this Power Automate? Can I access the Dataflow from within a PowerAutomate Flow? Or is there a much better way to solve such a problem?

 

Thanks for any help!

    I think my initial post may be a bit confusing...

     

    The bottom line is that I would like to use power automate to make some transformations to an excel file that is being save to specific OneDrive folder and than save this as a csv file (in the same or a different folder).

     

    I would like to use PowerQuery (from within a PowerBI Dataflow) to make the transformations to the excel file as this is exactly what PowerQuery is fantastic at.

     

    However if there is a better approach to this I am happy to try something different!

    Thanks!!
