Power apps - blob storage - create block blob

[nishchayg7]

Hi, I am new to power apps,

I want to take 4 inputs, 3 texts, and 1 date. I want to make a JSON object of these and save it into blob storage.

I have added a blob storage connector. I have read the documentation and azure blob storage, createblockblob expects 3-4 arguments, 1st- folder name, 2nd file name, 3rd content, 4th content type.

I want to name my json file name as selected date(string)

please help. I have added the screenshot of my formula in the post

Hey @nishchayg7 

Can you try to update your expression as:

AzureBlobStorage.CreateBlockBlob("testcontainer",Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]mm-dd-yyyy"),JSON({Name:TextInput1.Text,MachineName:TextInput2.Text,DPM:TextInput3.Text}),{'Content-Type':"application/json"})

Hope this Helps!

Hi Yash,

Thanks for your help.

I am using this formula :

AzureBlobStorage.CreateBlockBlob("powerappsblob",Concatenate(Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate,"[$-en-US]mm-dd-yyyy"),".json"),JSON({Name:TextInput1.Text, Name2 : TextInput7.Text , Name3 : TextInput8.Text}),{'Content-Type':"application/json"})

with this, i am able to save the file as selectedDate.Json but the file is empty and there is no data coming inside it. What might be the issue?

I'm having the same problem.  The blobs are always empty.  Did you find a resolution to this?

Same behaviour on my side. Just want to store some text in a BLOB file. File is created but empty (0 KB).

I'm using the following command: 

CreateBlockBlob(glryBlobFolders.Selected.Path, txtBlobFileName.Text,JSON(txtBlobFileContent.Text), {'Content-Type':"application/json"})

Example for txtBlobFileContent =

{FieldA:'ABC',FieldB:'XYZ'}

 Any hints? Or is this a known issue?

Thanks!

Same issue here. I am very surprised why microsoft guys are not responding to this ticket

AzureBlobStorage.CreateBlockBlob(
"myblobfolder",
"myjsonfile.json",
{'Name' : 'Dilip'},
{'Content-Type': "application/json"}
);
