Automation through Msft Flow or other extensions
Hi all,
I'm new to using powerbi and wanted to know if there were ways of doing the following in an automated way through Msft Flow or other extensions to:
- Append tables with similar columns
- Remove similar rows from appended tables
- Load / combine smaller CSV Files to a larger CSV file in Sharepoint with similar columns (To be done on a daily basis)
Challenges:
- When I choose "Get Data" > Sharepoint Folder, it shows me all the files in the folder, and it is difficult to find the most recent file if done on a daily basis
- I upload files manually, and append it to the larger CSV file through the Append Queries option, and choose "Remove Rows" > Remove Duplicates.
- Is my data integrity affected when doing this?
- Is there a faster way to do this?
Thank you all in advance!

hi GabAquino
You could sort the Date created or Date modified column to find the most recent file.
For "choose "Remove Rows" > Remove Duplicates", it will keep the first row value row for each duplicate value, this won't consider other columns.
