Converting Excel To PDF

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by MarkAnthony_ 8

Hi! I wish to automate the conversion of my excel file to PDF using the Power Automate function, which excel was filled out through PowerApps. I used the attached flow below however I keep encountering the same problem. The pdf uploaded to my sharepoint is the entry I input prior to the actual entry. Is there anyway to fix

    Hi @MarkAnthony_ !

     

    What is the error that occurs and in which action? And please do share a detailed flow like expanding your actions so as to see what expressions or dynamic content has been placed in your actions.

     

    We would gladly assist in this with the requested information.

    There's no really an error that occurs within the action. The power automates do the job in saving the file as a pdf when I click the "button" in powerapps. This button, aside from running the power automate function, also triggers the form.updates when I input entries in the data cards.

    Now, the problem is, the pdf generated contains values that I input before the action, and not the latest entries. I tried adding delays to the power automate, but 3 mins is long considering that there is a next step after generating the pdf in the app.
