Get data from power bi report and create a separate database

Hello,
I am new to power automate . I want to take few columns of a dataset from a power bi report and create a sharepoint list.  i am ok with dataverse as well to build the database. Then create a power app from the list so that users can input data in two new columns . from the dataset  i will have to create a report.
how can i do that?
thank you.

all suggestions are welcome.
When user inputs the data will the report change on the go?

What is the source of your data in PBI? It typically works better to build a Power App to connect to the source itself than it does to export it from Power BI, because you won't have to deal with updating the data as it changes over time that way. You can then also use the Power Apps integration visual to interact directly inside the report. 

 

As far as whether or not it's instant, that depends on where your data lives - the source needs to support Direct Query. SQL and I think Dataverse will support this, but SharePoint lists will not. 

It is direct Query data.
