There no longer appears to be a Power Automate Template for uploading a file to SharePoint from Powerapps, and the Powerapps trigger will not create the correct input for the file contents. I only get one parameter in PowerApps, and I can create a file, but it has no contents.

How to upload an excel file in power app and then sort specific data according to given id and then export that specific data to new excel file to automate the manual workload.

Cool ! Thanx for the article... I would like to add info to the file (let's say that the file need to be about 1, 2 or 3 different themes ... animals AND/OR fruits AND/OR vegetables). I know how to create checkboxes on the powerapp + I know how to create a new field (list of choices) in the SharePoint library BUT I have no clue how to report the data from the PowerApp into the SharePoint library field... Anyway you could help me ? (I am no developper and have very little skills... except writing if... then on a paper with a pen) That would be fabulous !

Yes, selecting a local file is a capability missing from PowerApps. What a shame.
