How to extract data from a report already posted online?

[mikael-santos]

Good afternoon everyone!

- Is it possible for powerbi to read another report already published online?
- Or at least extract your data?

• I need to extract the data from a report and i just have the URL and the web page.

Thanks!!!

Hello @mikael-santos ,

if you have the required access to the report you can use the data set of the report to create a new report.

For that go to "Get data", then "Power Platform" and then chose "Power BI datasets":

Then you can connect to the data set or the existing report.

If you need any help please let me know.

If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

Best regards

Hi @mikael-santos ,

Only users with Build permission for a dataset can connect to a published dataset using the Power BI service live connection. Free users only see datasets in their My Workspace and in Premium-based workspaces.
