I'm using Power BI to transform data on a daily refresh schedule and would like to export the data table to an Azure SQL database everyday. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Hi @buttercream
Power BI isn't designed to export data to external databases like Azure SQL Database as part of its refresh process. To automate daily data transformations and load the results into Azure SQL Database, it's best to use an ETL tool like Azure Data Factory (ADF).
