Create a CSV file with multiple rows

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Supremelimo 13

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a csv file that separates each element by columns.

 

My flow returns the formatted csv on the same line:

I need it to look like this:

My flow is simple, it gets data from sql and sends it in csv format via mail:

Is there any way to generate it in column format?

 

 

Thank you very much for the help

    Your CSV is fine. Your Excel isn't configured to use the comma as column separator.

     

    There are several options to work around this:

    • Change your Excel configuration
    • Open a blank sheet and use Excel's CSV import
    • Tell Excel that your CSV uses the comma by adding sep=, as the first line in your CSV
    • Build your own file (without "Create CSV table") and use the according separator (probably a semicolon)

     

    Check this explanation of CSV, seperators and Excel

    I did what was indicated in point 4 manually and it worked correctly when I opened it in Excel.

    How could I generate the csv with a ";" separator in power automate? and not ","
