Automatically extract data from report visual (live connection)
Hi Dave149,
Thsnk you Cookistador, for yyour insights.
For reports that use a live connection to SSAS, Power BI visuals do not support automatic export of underlying data. Instead, you can either query SSAS directly using tools like Excel, DAX Studio, or SSMS and export the results to CSV or Excel, or use Paginated Reports connected to the same model with subscriptions for scheduled CSV/Excel exports.
Thank you.
The easiest way to achieve that would be to do it with Power Automate
Do you need to apply some slicer and then extract the data ? or it will be always the same visual just the date of refresh will change?
I tried using Power Automate with the action "Run a query against a dataset" and then provided it with the DAX query underlying the visual. However, that failed what I thought would be due to the live connection:
The dataset 'xyz' is a model hosted in Azure Analysis Services or SQL Server Analysis Services using On-Premise Gateway, which is not allowed.
Do you know any fix or other approach to it?
Slicers are not needed for now, just a refresh of the same visuals (so multiple ones) with the current data.Hi Dave149,
