Requirement ;  I have the above data set as matrix visual (shown above) in my power bi, i wanted to create a power automate flow which i have to trigger upon selecting the student,let's say Brenda and send her a mail to her mail id, asking her to enroll for english and maths because it is blank in matrix visual. How do i do that.

Hi @Sam_BI_Analyst ,

 

Unfortunately, Power BI does not currently support setting up alerts based on selections in visual objects. You can create buttons for different StudentNames to trigger.

 

Go to Power Automate and create an "Automated cloud flow".

 

Select When a button is clicked in Power BI as the trigger.

 

In the Power Automate stream, add an action for sending an email. Use the Send Email Notification (V3) action. In the To field, you will use the student's email (which will be retrieved from the Power BI data). In the Subject and Body fields, you can customise the message to ask students to register for English and Maths.

 

The steps to do this can be found in the documentation below:

Get started with triggers - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn

 

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.
