I have a Power App using dataverse as the backend and I need to allow a user of the app to upload a file (in an entirely custom format) such that the file is then parsed (where I will obviously need to write custom code to do this) and imported to the database as one or more new records.
Can you tell me how I can do this please? I assume it's possible!
Add a new column of type Attachment to your form.
Create a Power Automate Flow that fires on Update of Record for this new column.
Read the file (I assume it is some kind of text file?) and parse its contents according to whatever logic this custom format has.
do you want to create a table on air and upload the data into dataverse?
Hi
yes it is possible but without knowing more details about the file and what type of records you want to create then it is impossible to give a solution with any certainty. But simplest way would be to build a pcf that you use in your powerapp and upon upload to an intermediate table this would trigger a powerautomate flow that would parse and create the records using dataverse actions.
