Hello Everyone,

 

I am having .CSV file as shown in below screenshot, trying to extract data from CSV file to excel file by using Power automate desktop, However, i am getting Data Table with single column of text data. Also, converting data table to list is not working properly here, Also, i am not good on regular expressions,

 

Please anyone let me know is there any way to achieve this.

    Can you control the data in the CSV? It seems like it's missing a comma in the second line. A proper CSV file that has a blank value should still have the same number of columns. It should technically be as follows:

    Tom Thomas, Cleark, Amazon

    Amy,, Yahoo

    Tony Deb, Developer, Microsoft

    (Notice the two commas between "Amy" and "Yahoo" - this indicates a blank field).

     

    If it looked like that, it would be very easy to simply read the file via Read from CSV file and then Write to Excel worksheet.

     

    If, however, you cannot control your file, it will be tricky to make this work, because there is no way to automatically know which exact field you're missing. You might have a name and a designation, but no company name.

    Yes, you are right,

    Actually, what i have shown in text file is the output of one of the web scrapping scenarios. I am getting DataTable with single column containing values as shown in text file.

    Well, perhaps it is possible to adjust the web scraping part of the flow, so that it is retrieved as a proper data table instead?
