Empty Data when Clicking PowerAutomate Button

Hello All,

So, simple table, conveted to Power Automate button, but when pressed, nothing flows through to it as seen in the picture below:

BugmanJ_0-1720799316409.png

I can confirm that
1) There are no filters being applied to the data (all are select "ALL")
2) I do have permission to run the flow and the workspace is premium.
3) The flow is created in PowerBI not in Power Automate

Why is this occuring for?

@v-fenling-msft 

I am fully aware of the limits of Power BI and Power Automate. None of those apply in this situation.  

Hi, @BugmanJ 

May I ask if you have gotten this issue resolved? If it is solved, please share your solution and accept it as solution, it will be helpful for other members of the community who have similar problems as yours to solve it faster.

 

If not, could you please provide a bit of your operational process and your data flow structure?Please be careful to remove all sensitive information and we will do our best to provide ideas for your issue.

A flow is not needed, it just appears to be a bug that occurs randomly.

Hi,@BugmanJ 

I am glad to help you.  

 

According to your description, some things you need to know about Considerations and Limitations: 

  • Additional manual inputs to the button aren't supported. 
  • The visual isn't supported for embedded analytics. 
  • The visual doesn't work in Publish to Web (public) scenarios, because unauthenticated scenarios aren't supported by Power Automate. 
  • The visual doesn't support export scenarios. 
  • The Power Automate visual is limited to process a maximum of 1000 records. 
  • The user running the flow within the Power BI report needs to have permissions to run the flow. Grant these permissions through direct sharing by the user or by sharing to a Microsoft Entra group. 
  • Create flows that you will use with the Power BI button trigger directly within the Power BI report. Avoid going directly to Power Automate to create these flows, as the trigger will not have access to the data fields necessary for creating the flow. 
  • Power BI data is sent to, and processed in, a geography where the flow is deployed. 

 

For more details, you can refer to the official documentation, which we hope will be helpful to you:Create a Power Automate visual for Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn 

 

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

So further testing shows this is a real bug. There are no measures, and all the fields are text fields or numerical fields.

How can i report this as a bug as it appears others in this forum are having similar problems?
