Python Script Export TO CSV Runs 3X

Hi all,

Using PBID April, 2025

 

My python script to export the dataframe to csv file runs 3X so I have 3 output files
How can I get the script to execute only 1X?

Thanks,

w

from datetime import datetime as dt 
import pandas as pd

filename = 'Octillion_Creative'
filext = '.csv'

# Get current date and time with microseconds
current_time = dt.now()

# Format date and time as string including microseconds
timestamp = current_time.strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S_%f")

total_file_name = filename + '_' + timestamp + filext

output = pd.DataFrame(dataset)
output.to_csv("fakepath\\" + total_file_name)

Where is that Python script running? In Power Query?  Power Query gives no guarantee whatsoever that it will only run once per refresh.

Thanks @lbendlin 

Yes - power query

 

Thanks
