Goodday,

Im reasonable new to Power Automate and im using it together with Powerapps and i have a really simple question I hope

Hi @RvdHeijden

Can you share what you are trying to achieve and which video are you referring to, so that I could check out the same at my end.

@VJR Here is the link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfXV_GXc_JM (about 10 minutes into the video) and below you see the screenshots

In the first picture you see the Onedrive icon with an option to create a HTML file, but when I try to duplicate that flow I can only select the Create File option, there is no HTML option.

I think that is the issue I've been having with creating a HTML based PDF because it doesn't create the correct file.

Hi @RvdHeijden

I have checked the video and you are not missing anything. It is the 'Create file' action of OneDrive used to create a HTML file. The action has been renamed as "HTML file" in the video and therefore the confusion.

@VJR if that is the case then something else is going wrong

My flow first generates a HTML file with a table in it and that part of the flow works.
The second part is that the HTML is converted to a PDF file and that is were it goes wrong.

The PDF creates the file with the header and column names but not the rows with the data in them.
