File Name Power Automate Button Export

Hello, I'm exporting data to an Excel file using a Power Automate button in SharePoint. Is it possible to use a variable from a table 'Table'[Field] as the Excel file name? Thanks Stefan

How can i bind a 'Table'[Field] to a field parameter ?

To bind 'Table'[Field] to a field parameter in Power BI for use with a Power Automate button, follow these steps:

  1. Add a table visual (or any visual) and make sure 'Table'[Field] is included.

  2. Insert a Power Automate visual from the Visualizations pane.

  3. Click on the Power Automate visual to open the Power Automate editor.

  4. In the right panel, under Fields, drag 'Table'[Field] into the Power Automate data inputs section.

  5. In the flow, use this field as a dynamic content — it will show up like Table_Field or similar under the trigger inputs.

Now the value from 'Table'[Field] will be passed to Power Automate when the button is clicked.

i cant find the table/field under Trigger?

You won’t see the table/field directly in the trigger step. First, you must add the field to the Power Automate visual in Power BI Desktop under the "Fields" section.

Once that's done:

  1. Go back to Power Automate.

  2. Click on the Power BI trigger (“Klick auf Power BI-Schaltfläche”).

  3. You’ll now see the fields passed from Power BI appear as dynamic content (like Table_FieldName) in later steps.

If fields don’t show, double-check that the visual in Power BI includes them before clicking “Create new flow.”

Hello, I've tried it now, but I just can't seem to solve my problem. I know I have to load the "Materialnummer_Gesamt" field into PowerAutomate first, but I can't.

 

I got my Flow from the YouTube tutorial

I would like to add a field from a table to PowerAutomate in my current flow, and I can use it as the file name.
Thanks, Stefan

Hi

Yes, it's possible — but Power Automate can’t directly read a DAX value like 'Table'[Field]. Instead, pass the value from Power BI using the Power Automate visual.

In your Power BI button, bind 'Table'[Field] to a field parameter sent to Power Automate. Then use triggerBody()?['FieldName'] inside the "File Name" input in your flow.

Make sure the field is included in the "Power BI button" trigger input.
