Sharepoint List Issue

Posted on by dan1234

Hi everyone,

I am posting here to get some help from the experts.

I am new to the Power Automate and was trying to build a flow that can help get the data from a List in Sharepoint once a month, like a real-time snapshot and output the same to a CSV file.

The file format should be csv file, and it can't be an excel.

We can't connect directly to SharePoint due to the need to track it historically.

The issue is that users have the option to put a hyphen at the start of a description input, e.g. - text is text, etc.; in CSV file, it is recognised as a formula as it is a minus sign.

I am attaching the image and file to understand it better and the options I select in flow.

Has anyone found any similar situation and been able to solve it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi @dan1234,

It should be possible to add or remove custom header rows after the flow has been created.

Hello,

Thanks a lot this is working. Just a question is there an option to add a column in between in “ crate csv file” after we create the flow? I mean like to append a new row after column 1 and column 2 at a later point. I am trying to hit enter shift + enter and option’s available but no luck yet.

Thanks again.

Hi @dan1234,

You could put quotes around the values so they are recognized as text.
