Additional Blank Row into CSV file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Good morning from here, community.


I'm Efrain as my profile says, guys, I'm new to using Power Automate Desktop(PAD), currently, I'm confronting a case that I want some help from all of you. When I created a CVS file following some videos about how works CSV activities within PAD, I did this possible, but I saw a little issue, that I can't understand. Into the attached picture, you gonna see it. For any reason when my automation creates my CSV file, it creates a blank extra row per data. But I don't understand the reason for this, maybe it's an issue with the configuration panel. But believe I tried to use any option that exists, but the file continues showing the blank row. Please if you have any advice or the solution of this can you explain me, please.

    There is probably an additional line in the CSV file. So you need to look at your code and variables where this newline comes from. Maybe you append something with a newline?

    Hi Efrain,

     

    I had the same issue and fixed it placing the cursor at the beginning of the text, not at the end of the row or after the line break.

     

    Let me explain it with some more details:

     

    1) Open your csv file with a text editor (Notepad or Notepad++ for instance), not with Excel

    2) Click with your mouse and set the cursor before the first letter (probably the header)

    3) Save and exit

    4) Run your flow and check the result

     

    I hope that you find it useful!
