Auto export in CSV with analysis services

Hello everyone, 
i would like to create a script (or somehow program the system) to export a CSV file of a report whenever this script (or schedule) is executed. I've read around but my main issue is that I am using analysis services so my capabilities are kinda limited. Any ideas? 
Thanks

    Anonymous not fully clear it is related to Power BI or what, can you elaborate a bit more?

      Yes parry2k , of course. 
      I have a report that I want to be downloaded on a schedule in xlsx or csv format from the PowerBI services and be saved on a specific folder. In tableau you have the tabcmd environment that you can easily do this type of thing. Can I also do this in PowerBI, and download the report (or the underlying data of a report) in a csv or xlsx format and save it in a specific file, considering that I am working on analysis services so I have limited capabilities?Could there be a script that would do this for example?
      Thank you for your help, I appreciate it
