Base64 decode from text ASCII

Posted on by MatsT

I receive a text file every day generated in what i suspect is ASCII or iso-8859-1, When i use external Base64 decoding i will get the nordic letters but not when i use base64tostring or similar in flow.

Is there some way to get the nordic letters with this type of data source?

When i do a regular compose base('å,ä,ö) and the decodeBase64 it works just fine. is there any way this is possible to solve?

Thank you in advance

/Mats

Hi @MatsT,

It's unfortunate that decode ASCII is not supported in Power Automate currently.

I assume that it might be a good addition for flow, please submit your idea in Microsoft Flow Ideas Forum, I will suggest other customers who have the same request to vote your idea at here, while PGs will take hot ideas into consideration first:

Hi @MatsT,

As far as I know, the answer is no such function could do it in Power Automate.

There is char() function exists in Power Apps could convert ASCII, if your requirements overlap with Power Apps, you can consider using it, here is document could refer to:

Char function - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs
