Hello,

I created a flow to convert an excel file to CSV and it works, but I need the CSV to be in CP1252 format.

I know that something like this concat(uriComponentToString('%EF%BB%BF'),body('Create_CSV_table')) works to convert to utf-8 but I didn't find anything to CP1252. Also I can only use microsoft actions so third party solutions aren't viable for me and I am using the online power automate version.

Is there any way it can be done?

Thank you.

Re: Convert excel to CSV CP1252

That's not really "converting to UTF-8" - all it does is slap a BOM to the front of the file.

If your data is single byte text and you write it to CSV you'll automatically get code page 1252.
