Power Apps Export Large Data to Email, CSV or PDF File | SharePoint

In this video, you will learn how to Export Large data sets from Power Apps using Power Automate flow. We will leverage SharePoint as a data source. The work of performing the OData query from SharePoint List to fetch the data will be performed by flow. The data query will be passed dynamically from Power Apps as a query parameter to flow. Flow will get the Tabular data, generate HTML, send data in Email, Export data to CSV & export data to PDF. User will leverage the Power App to request dynamic export of data to Email, CSV or PDF.
We will cover generating the HTML, passing parameters from PowerApps to flow, generating the HTML file & converting it to PDF using the standard OneDrive connector & then sending it out as an email attachment.
Power Apps delegation challenges are averted with this technique since the entire workload of performing the query is pushed to flow.
Video covers the following:
✅ Export Data from Power Apps Introduction
✅ Challenges with exporting large data sets (performance)
✅ Pass Query dynamically from Power Apps to Power Automate
✅ OData Filter Get Items SharePoint
✅ HTML Table
✅ Send Email
✅ Export PowerApps data to CSV File

Thanks for the clear explanation. This will be useful for a milage tracking application I've built which is to include a feature of sending a manager a report of the trips taken that are still marked as "Pending" in the SharePoint list. I think I'll include a step that marks the status from Pending to Submitted once the report is sent. As usual, Reza, you have been a wealth of information.

[@Andyandrwew144]

Thank you so much yet again Reza! I have had a similar requirement before. The way I did this was I exported the list using the Export List View feature of SharePoint. Then I uploaded the downloaded IQY file into a SharePoint library. Then in powerapps, I allowed the user to download the iqy file directly from the power app. Caveats are that the iqy file cannot be used on Mac devices. Also, the custom filter from within powerapps can only be done by creating multiple views in the SharePoint list.

[@RezaDorrani]

That is also an option. But here it is fully dynamic as the user can pick the filters on the fly.

[@Andyandrwew144]

@@RezaDorrani yes. I love your method for that reason. I have done this before by sending the JSON to power automate and parsing it but it was slow and hard to maintain. Your method alleviates those issues.

Not sure about those. Might be some special character related issues. I would recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

[@slackehacker719]

This is a really good guide. Only issue that I have is that you should be more careful when creating files on user's One Drive without their consent. I understand you have to create the file in order to convert it to PDF since there is no free built in way to convert HTML to pdf, but creating files and filling user's One Drives with unnecessary files is not the solution.

[@RezaDorrani]

User has to consent to Onedrive action as flow is called from power apps. User has to consent to every connection being used.

Thank you really much Ezra for sharing this amazing video. Just a question: how to export data if the gallery filtering is carried out by using two different TextInput boxes?

I think I might of changed the column from 'Sub-Category_Choice' to 'SubCategory_Choice' which might have caused this. The code now looks like this: LifeAfterCollegeExport.Run("startswith(County_Choice, '"& cboMFilterCounty.Selected.Value &"') and Category_Choice eq '"& cboMFilterCategory.Selected.Value &"' and Sub_x002d_Category_Choice eq '"& cboMFilterSubCategory.Selected.Value &"'",User().Email); Notify("Export process started.

In this video user can search for Title column in txtsearch input control l. What if we need two additional column like Role and First name. So by adding these column in the Exporttask.Run(..Title,Role,FirstName) Will this work? or Do I need another approach.

Key is to frame the query in flow. You can pass values from power apps as you mentioned.

Hi Reza, thank you for the video, one question, how would you center HTML table in the email body? Now, table align to left, what if I like table in center of email? Thanks

[@RezaDorrani]

You would need to add style info to it. I believe only inline styles are supported and very specific ones. You will have to check.

How could I do if I want to export Specifically selected items from the gallery and not a group filtered by any parameter? I'm thinking of passing the ID of the selected items as an array but then How can I filter in the get items to get only the items with ID inside that array? Kinda solve it already but it's such a pain to deal with multiple choice columns. Is there a simple way of making them appear "normal" in the table?

[@RezaDorrani]

Probably store selected items in a collection and then use technique shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoKmc4qDh5yHbJYsi=fr-CaM5NVmauc0-W

HI, Reza Wonderful video... I want to export multiple records as well as if they have attachments. I want to include that under each record.. is there any way to do that in flow.. I am confused and new to Flow as well..

Hi Reza, Thank you so much, I wanted to ask you one thing is there a way when clicked export to export with out typing the text input at moment it will export blank if you leave blank search text input blank

[@RezaDorrani]

For that you will need to update the query param being passed. You can check if the text box is blank and accordingly pass query param.

[@basehumax]

@@RezaDorrani Give me a direction please which query param to use thanks

Hi Reza, Thank you for the informative video. I have a query and that is how this export will work if the gallery items are coming from multiple lists and we want to export the gallery items without delegation limit. Please assist.

[@RezaDorrani]

In that case, you would need to pass 2 queries to flow. Perform both those queries and merge the result array in flow.

My first time comment to your video. This really helpful. But, how do I pass date to the query. Seem like only text is allowed to be pass in the query.

Hello Reza, Thank you very much for another excellently done video. As always great explained and step by step approached the solution. I would like to email the contents of a form as a PDF and CSV attachment instead of a gallery (HTML output is not necessary). Do you have a solution for this as well?

Most welcome. A form relates to a single item. Typically an export in csv for 1 item is not an ask. I do not have a video reference for this scenario. Try checking on forums in case someone has done something similar powerusers.microsoft.com

Hi Reza, Thanks for the video However i was wondering how we are going to achieve this with a combobox(multiselect). How can we write the query for multiselect values? Should we write for the each value one by one? For ex: by using Last and FirstN function? But if we have a large number of dropdown values, ex: countries and it is multiselect. Then how should we achieve the filtered excel report? Thanks again in advance.

[@jatinparmar852]

@@RezaDorrani i have figured out an approach. Odata query has been so big because i was using multiple comboboxes. Instead, i just created a custom collection, created a ForAll in it, and added the current record one by one based on the filtered values. Then i passed the collection to powerautomate, created the schema for it, picked the values and extracted into the excel.
