I would like to export the data via python to csv and set the download file as a parameter in Power query.
I set a parameter called Export_destination = C:\Users\Name\Desktop And I write a python script for export as follows,
```
Export_destination = "&Text.From(Export_destination)&"
import pandas as pd
data = pd.DataFrame(dataset)
data.to_csv(r'{Export_destination}\test.csv')
```
However, the script still can not work. Does anyone have a good solution for this question?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
There probably are other ways, one way is to get your final file in another power query step
Export_destination = Export_destination&"\test.csv" //this is power query step
....
import pandas as pd
data = pd.DataFrame(dataset)
data.to_csv(r'"&Export_destination&"')
or call the parameter in Python, concat your filename directly...actually you can do dateset.to_csv directly...
import pandas as pd
data = pd.DataFrame(dataset)
data.to_csv(r'"&Export_destination&"\test.csv')
Hi @Anonymous ,
Could you tell me if @Vera_33 's post helps you? If it is, kindly Accept it as the solution to make the thread closed. More people will benefit from it.
