Hello, I was given a task to make Power BI send an email (alert) when something changes in the data. For example, I have a SharePoint folder with 3 excel files. In one of them there was a change (there was added new row or deleted row or edited row). Is it possible for Power BI send an email when it refreshes dataset and such things happen? Thanks for the help!

Hi Anonymous , I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks! I have done that in Power BI before - when a new record is added to get an alert. To do that, just add the "created date" field to each row (not the file itself since that never changes) coming from the Excel file and then in the Power BI data you can use an alert based on a column for created date being within 1 day (or 3 if you have weekend delays). You can make that a macro or something in Excel to make sure that the Created Date is always added when a row is added.
