Power BI export data to Excel using Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Dear community,

 

I needs some help as I can't seem to solve an issue I have with date format.

 

I've create a Power BI report with a table visual. I want to export this (filtered) data to Excel using Power Automate. I managed to do so, however I need the dates as displayed in the Power BI table visual.

When the PA flow has ran and I open the Excel, I get the date minus 1 hour. The problem is (the most current example) the date shows 4-11-2022 in the table visual and in the Excel exort is shows 3-11-2022 23:00. This is the PA flow:

I know Power BI uses the PC regional setting but it seems like it uses standard UTC and does minus 1 hour because of the my local time.

 

I've doen several things to try and get the date from the visual, such as:

- Changing regional settings (in Power BI options);

- Changing data type to 'Date' instead of 'Date/time' in report page;

- Changing data type in Power Query;

- Splitting the column into date and time seperately.

 

Nothing seems to work. When I try exporting the table visual manually from Power BI service, I get the date I want without the time. It seems that the 'Run a query against a dataset' automatically convert the date to the ISO-8601 format (I found this in the PA flow log). I can't find anywhere online how to prevent this from happening.

 

Does anyone have an idea and/or solution for this? It would help me big time.

 

Kind regards.

    How is the column defined in Power BI?  DateTime or DateTimeZone ?

    Hi Ibendlin,

     

    In the Power Query the column is by default defined as Date/Time:

    I have changed the date type here to different options. However none gave me the desired result...

    It has to do with the timezone as, for example, '22-7-2019 00:00:00' will be displayed as '21-7-2019 23:00:00' in the Excel export.

     

    I also messed with the options in the report view. This did not help either.

    There is an expression in Power Automate called convertFromUtc() in which you provide your local time zone name.  You might need to add a Select action so you can map the field and use the expression.  Hope it helps.
