Getting data from a function in an on-prem SQL server via Gateway in Power Automate
Dataflow magic in Power Automate. SQL with Power Query in Power Automate. Did you know you can do this?
“We are screwed!”
me at the moment of technology induced panic
That was the feeling when I saw the below error messages.
The client’s setup is an on-prem SQL server exposed to the cloud via an on-prem Gateway. It works perfectly fine for exiting Dataflow integration, but this time we needed data from a function in Power Automate.
Now problem, you can use SQL server connector, right?
Almost (but yes, if you read this post or knew before).
Set back #1
You cannot use “Execute a SQL query (V2)” with an on-prem gateway connection. Not supported!

Set back #2
Apparently, you cannot return dataset from the function. Can call it if it was just a function or procedure without return value. But if it returns data – bad luck!

Panic mode on!
Wait, but what if…
Power Query to the rescue! Again.

Azure Functions in Power Platform multiple environments
Working with real customer’s deployment requires managing multiple environments – at least Test and Production or additionally a Dev environment. One of the common patterns we use in the solutions is to use Azure Functions as an effective, serverless extension of the point-and-click Power Automate flows. This pattern utilises a Custom Connector created to embed the function call and parameters into… Continue reading Azure Functions in Power Platform multiple environments
