I'm utilizing Power Automate (Power BI) to export data into a CSV file. I would like to include a header and footer in the exported CSV file.
 
Current output:

 

phone             name       address   city   state   zip
234-456-5671 John Test address1 city1 state1 zip1
234-456-5672 Kevin Test address2 city2 state2 zip2
234-456-5673 Shane Test address3 city3 state3 zip3

Desired output:

 

10 SCADA.DB

4 STATUS      phone name address city state zip

                       234-456-5671 John Test address1 city1 state1 zip1

                       234-456-5672 Kevin Test address2 city2 state2 zip2

                       234-456-5673 Shane Test address3 city3 state3 zip3

    You could do this:
     
    Step 1: 

     
     
    concat(
     
      '10 SCADA.DB',
     
      decodeUriComponent('%0D%0A%0D%0A'),
     
      '4 STATUS      phone name address city state zip',
     
      decodeUriComponent('%0D%0A%0D%0A')
     
    )
     
     
     
    Step 2: Get your data from Power BI
     
    Step 3: Loop through the items



     
     
     
    Append to string variable inside the Apply to each:
     
     
     
    concat(
     
      '                       ',
     
      item()?['phone'],
     
      ' ',
     
      item()?['name'],
     
      ' ',
     
      item()?['address'],
     
      ' ',
     
      item()?['city'],
     
      ' ',
     
      item()?['state'],
     
      ' ',
     
      item()?['zip'],
     
      decodeUriComponent('%0D%0A%0D%0A')
     
    )
     
    Step 5: Append to string variable after the Apply to each:
     
     
     
    concat(
     
      '0',
     
      decodeUriComponent('%0D%0A%0D%0A'),
     
      'o'
     
    )



    Let me know if it worked!
