Is it possible to have a flow automatically triggered when a cell is updated in Power BI or Exel?

Is it possible to have a Power Automate flow automatically triggered when a cell is updated in a column in Power BI or Excel?

I have a button in Power BI that is used to create events in the users' Outlook calendar with the values they selected in a table.

One of the values is a date that is used as the starting date of the event. However, when the date is updated in my dataset, I would like if an event has been created for it to be automatically updated without having to trigger the update using a button.

Is it possible?
I'm using an excel file as my dataset for my Power BI report.

Hi, @Anonymous ;

There is no such action in Power Automate to execute, there may be no way to determine whether new data is currently added, but you can use a timed trigger to trigger flow to refresh the Power BI dataset.
