Hi,

 

I have a need to store table information from powerapps in an excel file as a backup locally whilst exporting (very remote location). I have found this link

https://pixelperfect-powerapps.medium.com/export-as-excel-from-powerapps-without-automate-342997893797

Which tells me i can, however i don't have the background to understand if by following the instructions in the link and creating a "PowerApps Component Framework Control" is a good idea?

 

Could someone more knowledgeable than me tell me is this a safe way? or is there a better way to achieve my current goal?

 

Thankyou,

    Hi @SomeoneAwesome ,

     

    Without PCF, I think using flow is the only way to achieve your needs. In addition, I have also tested the PCF you provided, and it does work. But PCF is created by the author himself, and I recommend that you consult its author about whether it is safe or not.

    I've made a test for your reference:

    1\Download the solution

    2\Import the solution

    3\get compontents

    For the remaining steps, please refer to this link:
