You'll need to be a bit more specific about your question. But if you are asking how a chatbot can retrieve and display information from a file or network file share then the answer is to call a Power Automate flow to retrieve the information, format it using markdown language, and then return it to the chatbot for display.

Hi @Pstork1,
My Datafile is there in the following network file location \\120.1.0.0\ShareFolder\SampleData.csv
My requirement is How to read the data from the SampleData.csv file and perform certain CRUD operations by using the Power Virtual Agents or Chatbots?

Then my response is correct. You would use the chatbot as the user interface for the CRUD operations. For example you might have a topic with the key phrase "Delete Record", which would then prompt for some key that could be used to identify the record. Once the key was entered the chatbot would call a flow and pass the key as a parameter. The flow would then access the CSV file using an on-premises gateway and the file system connector. Once the flow accesses the CSV it would find the appropriate record, delete it and return a successful status to the chatbot. The chatbot would show a message saying the record had been deleted. A similar process could be followed for the other CRU operations.
