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)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Where is that Python script running? In Power Query? Power Query gives no guarantee whatsoever that it will only run once per refresh.
