Open CSV File in PowerApps

Posted on by Phil_NPO 102

hi,

 

how can I import csv file to powerapps?

 

I tried to use attachment control and pass it through Power Automate. But this does not work. I allready asked this in a dead thread.

 

So maybe somebody can help me a little bit?

 

 

I tried "CSVDataImport.Run(DataCardValue15_1.Attachments.Value)" and this is red underlined. 

 

On powerautomate I have the powerapps trigger, after this I added "Parse Json" and as input I ask powerapps.

    @Phil_NPO 

    Open the csv file in Excel, format it as a table, save it in one drive for business or Dropbox and import it as a datasource in PowerApps.

    Is there now way to import it directly in powerapps and pass it through power automate?

     

    How can I send the filecontent from the attachment control to power automate?

    Hi @Phil_NPO ,

     

    Response action in power automate requires a known format.

    If the column name of your csv file is dynamic, I'm afraid it won't be implemented.

    In other word, if you have two csv files with different column names, power automate response will not pass to canvas correctly.

    Hope this will help you.

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky

    It's not about the way from power automate to powerapps, it is the opposite. I would like to know to open a file in power apps and send the content to power automate. this is the first step, that does not work. 

     

    all csv files i would like to import are static, allways the same column names.
