Exporting Power BI to a CSV but getting document format

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by mason_axon 5

I'm trying to export some data from my Power BI report and I've set up a flow thats running and working, however, the file is not being saved in OneDrive as a csv. Instead its coming over as "document" that I can only open in a text editor.

I need this to be a csv so I can do some historical data analysis on it. Text files do me no good
