Automated extract from datawarehouse - possible?

Hi

 

I'm new-ish to powerbi so please excuse if this is a basic question.  

 

We have an existing data warehouse. In powerbi when we query the data warehouse, we curently manually create a table and  drag in 4 dimensions. Then we do a manual extract of data, out into a csv file.

 

My question is can we write DAX code ( or similar ) to do that extraction, and do you have to manually run the DAX inside powerbi or can we kick it off from a command line or python or a powerbi server etc?

 

I'm starting off by thinking about this at a high level/concept level, then will drill down into the technical,  if this approach is  possible.

 

Thanks in advance.
