How to read CSV file content from a file saved in SharePoint

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Dear expert

 

I created a flow that is able to read the CSV content of a file when is saved in a SharePoint Folder  which is great.

however , if instead of using the above trigger , I would like the user to trigger the import from a button ( via PowerApp) and here is the deal

 

I am not able to retrieve the content anymore 

 

The Get File Content returns just the object .

How can I achieve this ?

    To solve this , I created a compose action and converted from Base64ToString

    Base64ToString(
       body('Get_file_content')?['$content']
    )

    Thank you so much @Anonymous ! This was very helpful! Do you know how I can remove the "Base64ToString(" again in the next step?
