Saving SQL query results to csv on sharepoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Krcmjaster 74

I am new to MS Flow. I am trying to schedule a flow that will each time save the results of the SQL query to csv or excel, under same name. 

I hoped this would be simple with Flow but it's fairly complicated. If I understood correctly I can't just do this in 3 steps, start->query->Save, I need to do it for each item in the results. Below is my poor attempt , just saves the last item I guess. 

Also, when I resolve this, do I need add a step to delete the file and create new one with the same name of will the flow overwrite the file?

    Hi @Krcmjaster 

     

    Thank you very much for posting.

     

    According to your query, you would like to export data from SQL and export to a CSV file in SharePoint. If that’s the case, we can combine ‘create CSV table ’ with ‘create file’ to achieve your purpose.

     

    The whole flow may look like as below:

    You could refer below articles to create CSV table:

    https://us.flow.microsoft.com/en-us/galleries/public/templates/79095f001ee911e79dc3835964ea3218/copy-sharepoint-list-items-into-a-csv-each-week/

     

    Yes, we will encounter duplicate issue if file with same name created. Thus, I recommend we can use a dynamic content [‘utcnow().csv’ something like that] as filename for easily distinguishing which is the updated one.

     

    Hope it helps.

     

    Thanks
