Need Help Automating Power BI Matrix Visual Data Sharing
- 1 year ago
Hi Manav-Shah,
Thank you for the follow-up. Given that your primary requirement is to automatically share matrix visual data in a structured format (excluding image or PDF) and you do not have a Premium license, here are your current options:
You can automate the export process using Power Automate along with Power BI REST API or Dataflows. This will enable you to extract and send tabular data (such as that in your matrix visual) on a scheduled basis, eliminating the need for manual exporting.
First, identify the table or measure that feeds your matrix visual in Power BI Desktop. Utilize Power BI Dataflows (or create a custom table if necessary) to store the summarized data behind your matrix.
Next, in Power Automate, set up a scheduled flow: Use the Power BI REST API or connect to the Dataflow. Retrieve the table data, export it to Excel or CSV format, and send it via email or upload to OneDrive/SharePoint.
If you are open to using Excel: Open Excel → Data → Get Data → From Power BI. Select your dataset and import the table used in the matrix. Format and share the Excel file, which can be refreshed on demand or upon opening, making sharing dynamic.

Hi Manav-Shah ,
In my opinion, you can use Power BI paginated reports to output matrix visuals as structured tables and automate delivery via Power Automate.

Hi saritasw,.
Yes, this solution requires a Power BI Premium license, but I have a Power BI Pro license, so it's not possible for me. Do you have any other solutions that helps me?
