Convert excel to CSV CP1252

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.

    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.
