Describe the bug

When attempting to export a Dataverse table that contains no records in Power Apps, the export functionality does not provide a download link for the exported table.

What happened?

In Power Apps, after selecting the option to export a Dataverse table that has no records, the system does not generate a download link for the export file. Consequently, there is no way to access the exported file even if it should be empty.

Here is a table without records:

When I clicked export, the download link didn't show:

But when I added a record, I can download the table:

What did you expect to happen?

When exporting a Dataverse table in Power Apps that has no records, the system should still generate a download link for the exported file. This allows users to access the file, even if it contains no data, as it can still be useful for documentation or other purposes.

How would you reproduce the bug?

1. Open Power Apps and navigate Tables Tab
2. Choose the specific table with no records that you want to export.
3. Click on the "Export - Export Data" option.
4. Observe that no download link is provided for the empty export file.
