Export Data from Gallery through PowerAutomate to CSV File - How to sort the Data?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 7

Hi,

 

I have been trying to do this for a couple of weeks and really struggling.  I have set up a Flow to export the data from my Gallery to create an Excel file.  Which works.  But it sorts the columns alphabetically - not in a logical order.

 

My export button OnSelect is:

 

Set(VarFileLink,ExporttoExcel.Run(JSON(Threat_Table,IncludeBinaryData)).filelink);Launch(VarFileLink)

 

My Flow is:

I was trying to look at using the Custom function for Columns on Create CSV Table rather than automatic but not worked.  I tried looking at adding JSON Parse in but with the initial initialise activity it doesnt seem to go right.

 

Any thoughts?

    Hi @Mike17 ,

    That is the Default behaviour of a List - you could however do it the "long way" with Concat() the fields in the order you want, but then you will receive plain comma-delimited text and will probably have to change your Flow.
