Re: How to automatically export a PBI screenshot for the latest month?

gmunoz — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 00:16:47 GMT

This is a solid approach and the YouTube walkthrough is a great reference for the setup — thanks for sharing it.

One thing worth flagging for anyone following this thread: the "Export to File for Power BI Reports" action requires the workspace to be on dedicated Premium or Fabric capacity. Premium Per User (PPU) isn't enough for that specific action — I've seen a few cases here where people hit a "FeatureNotAvailableError" on PPU expecting it to work, so it really comes down to what capacity is actually available on the tenant.

If Premium/Fabric isn't an option, there's a Pro + standard Power Automate variant too: instead of exporting the visual, you query the semantic model directly with Run a query against a dataset, and have the DAX query dynamically resolve the latest available month. Different output — a data table instead of a screenshot — but it runs fully on Pro. I wrote it up in more detail here if it's useful: https://blog.hogaria.tech/de-power-bi-al-correo-sin-capacidad-premium/

Hi SRJPBI ,

If you don't strictly need the screenshot itself, there is another approach that may fit your use case.

Instead of relying on the report subscription and changing the slicers before each email, you can query the Power BI semantic model directly from Power Automate using Run a query against a dataset. The DAX query can dynamically determine the latest available month after the dataset refresh, and the flow can then use the result to build and send the email.

I recently wrote about this approach here:
https://blog.hogaria.tech/de-power-bi-al-correo-sin-capacidad-premium/

The approach uses Power BI Pro and standard Power Automate, without requiring Premium/Fabric capacity. The main idea is to keep the business logic in the Power BI model instead of trying to reproduce it in the flow.

For your specific scenario, I would make the DAX query select the latest available year/month dynamically, so there would be no need to manually update the slicers.

SRJPBI In this case you need to Use Power Automate since the values will be dynamic. I am just listing out what are the pre-requisites below. Check out the YouTube tutorial linked below to learn how to achieve this.

Create a Power Automate cloud flow.
Add a Recurrence trigger.
Use the Export To File for Power BI Reports action.
Pass dynamic filter values for the current month (for filtering).
Save the file as PNG or PDF.
Send it using Send an Email (V2).

Hello,

Sorry for long answer - we decided use new slicers in Reprots ( list slicer, button slicer) these new slicers allow to have blank value. In another page where we have to have single select we will use deep copy

Hi SRJPBI

Thanks for reaching out to Fabric Community Forum.

No, the slicers themselves cannot be automatically updated immediately before a standard Power BI subscription screenshot is generated. A subscription uses the report's saved filter/slicer state, so if the slicer is saved as August 2026, the subscription will continue to use that selection until the saved state is changed.

To make the screenshot always reflect the latest month, the better approach is to move the “latest month” logic into the Power BI model/report rather than relying on a manually selected slicer value.

For example, you can create logic in the Date/Calendar table to identify the latest completed month and use that as the report/page filter. The subscription can then run normally, while the latest-month logic updates automatically as new data is refreshed.

Dynamic per-recipient subscriptions are another option, but they are primarily intended for applying different filter values to different recipients, rather than simply selecting the latest month.

For this requirement, making the latest-month logic dynamic within the report/model is the simplest and most robust approach.

Re: Iframe continues scrolling after mouse release when interacting with Power BI visuals

Hi Mohd_Naim

diagnosed as a cross-frame mouseup issue (release happens in the parent doc, not the iframe's), noted you can't attach a listener inside a cross-origin iframe, and suggested a host-page window mouseup/pointerup handler that toggles pointer-events on the iframe to reset it — plus asked whether it only happens when the cursor exits the iframe bounds mid-drag.

Re: How to add RLS on top of FUAM datasets

v-achippa — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 05:20:57 GMT

Hi TobNyg,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

Here the issue is that the local RLS table cannot filter the FUAM tables because the FUAM data is coming from a remote semantic model.

The recommended solution is to add the user-to-workspace security table and RLS role directly to the FUAM semantic model. If that model cannot be modified, create a new semantic model directly from the underlying FUAM Lakehouse tables, not from the FUAM semantic model.

Use WorkspaceId rather than WorkspaceName , and apply dynamic RLS:
[UserPrincipalName] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()

Also ensure the report users have read-only/Viewer access to the workspace hosting the report because RLS does not apply to workspace Admin, Member, or Contributor roles.

For reference, follow the below documentation:

Thanks and regards,

How to add RLS on top of FUAM datasets

TobNyg — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:42:15 GMT

We are testing the FUAM reports and would like to share some of them with workspace administrators.

To achieve this, we want to implement RLS so that workspace owners can only see data for the workspaces they own.

I tried creating a composite model with an RLS security table containing User and WorkspaceName, and created a relationship to the Workspaces table.

However, the filtering does not seem to work properly for the Workspaces table, which is running in DirectQuery mode.

Has anyone implemented RLS for FUAM before, and if so, what approach would you recommend?

How to automatically export a PBI screenshot for the latest month?

SRJPBI — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:55:04 GMT

I have a Power BI report published in the online service. It automatically refreshes via a schedule. I now want to set up a scheduled process which automatically emails a screenshot of the report to certain people.

I know I can do this by setting up a subscription, but here's the tricky bit: the report has a couple of slicers for year and month. So if I set up a subscription with the slicers set to August 2026, then the screenshots will keep showing August 2026 unless I manually update the slicers.

Is there a way for me to have the slicers automatically update before the screenshot is emailed out?

I have access to Power Automate Desktop if that helps.

Re: How to deactivate Power BI Pro Free 60 Day Trial

DaniyalKhaleel1 — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:20:33 GMT

If this was a Power BI Pro/PPU trial started by the user, it may not appear under Microsoft 365 Admin Center → Active users/Licenses.

Microsoft's current guidance is:

Open Power BI Service.

Click your profile/account manager in the top-right.

Look for Cancel trial.

If Cancel trial is not available, and the trial was started/managed by the organization, a Billing Administrator may need to cancel it. Microsoft also notes that an administrator may need to raise a Microsoft Support ticket for some Power BI license trials.

So in your case, don't focus on Active Users,first check the Power BI profile menu for Cancel trial

Re: Power BI Embedded registers blocked unload handler in Microsoft Edge

LumericVisuals — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:46:35 GMT

This is almost certainly Chromium's ongoing unload event deprecation surfacing in a script you don't control, rather than anything wrong in your embedding code. The warning names the Power BI hosted reportembed script specifically, and Edge/Chrome have been tightening enforcement around unload listeners for a while now as part of the back/forward-cache work — sites still get flagged even when the listener is legitimate.

In practice this is usually just console noise rather than a functional break — the report itself still renders and works, per what you're already seeing. Worth double-checking that nothing real regressed (state not saving on close, telemetry gaps) before spending more time on it, since a console warning alone doesn't tell you whether anything actually stopped working.

Since the listener lives in Microsoft's own script rather than your application code, there's no fix you can apply from the embedding side — you'd only be able to suppress the console noise, not the underlying registration. If it's bothering you beyond cosmetics, the powerbi-client-sdk-typings / JavaScript SDK GitHub repo is the right place to check for an existing issue or file a new one; I don't have visibility into whether Microsoft has already shipped a pagehide/visibilitychange replacement in a recent SDK version, so that's worth confirming directly rather than taking on faith.

Hi Johag,
Thank you for clarifying.

According to the current Microsoft documentation, the remote Power BI MCP server is still in preview. The documentation does not currently specify a timeline or target date for general availability (GA).

For the latest information on the feature's availability and updates, we recommend following the official Microsoft Learn documentation:

Get started with the remote Power BI MCP server - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

I hope this clarifies.
