But I found a question need to overcome......... the Chinese character will become  garbled , so in import data to excel period , I need to set up character to "UTF8" .

    Hello,

     

    According to this post, it doesn't appear that creating a UTF-8 CSV file from Flow is supported: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Powerapps-HTML-to-CSV-UTF-8/td-p/302826.  Unless someone else in the community has an idea how to do this, your best bet would either be to create an idea here: 

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/idb-p/MPAIdeas.  Before you do that, you should search the site to see if there are similar ideas.  If there are, you should go vote on them up.

     

    You can also create a support case with Microsoft to see if there is any other work around for this issue.  I did find these articles, but I have not tested the results. I’m not sure if this will work  for you, but it’s worth a look.
