Extract large dataset from Power BI to csv/excel

Hi,

 

I have been looking for solutions to automate extraction of Power BI dataset which has more than 100k rows into a csv/excel file. The closest I could get is to use a loop in power automate --> filter data based on row index column (present in the dataset) --> append them to an array --> finally to a csv. However, my problem is that I do not have an index column in my dataset, nor do I want to modify my dataset. Can anyone suggest if there is way to extract data out of BI using power automate?
