PowerApps result distribution via email

Hi all,

I started work with PA a few months ago with "Low Code" mind set, thinking that most things will be easy to do with drug and drop. But looks like you need to learn all Fx features.
Now my users want to email them monthly some result tables, and I found that there is not option do it directly from PA, it's only available via link, but in my case they want copy in Excel format, is this possible ?
If so do I need to complete PowerAutomate something? Appreciate if you direct me how to do it right.

Also Looks like PowerPlatform is actively moving to Copilot/AI, I have those pop us every 5 min and need to wait until they go way, so I think maybe it's easy to make with Copilot somehow.

Thanks
Mario

---Can you clarify what this has to do with the question you have?

Now my users want to email them monthly some result tables, and I found that there is not option do it directly from PA, it's only available via link,

---Why is this, who told you that? Is it not accurate, so can you please share where you were told this? Otherwise it just sounds like you are telling that it isn't but you are incorrect . You can easily create a table of data, format it, and send it as a CSV as an attachment in an email from Power Apps, so when they get it, they can open the CSV in excel.

but in my case they want copy in Excel format, is this possible ?

If so do I need to complete PowerAutomate something? Appreciate if you direct me how to do it right.

--You can do what you want in Power Apps, or Power Automate. Sometimes depending on what you want it might be... better to do it in Power Automate, but that does not mean its required.

Also Looks like PowerPlatform is actively moving to Copilot/AI, I have those pop us every 5 min and need to wait until they go way,

--I do not know what this means or has to do with the question. What popups? I never have popups let alone every 5 minutes. Can you please share what you mean?

so I think maybe it's easy to make with Copilot somehow.

--So are you asking how to make it in CP or are you again just making a general statement? I cannot tell.

Apologies, there are so many just sort of opinion statements or incorrect statements I am not really sure what you need as there are not actually details about what you need, the data etc.
