Power Automate Run Flow button does nothing

Hi all,

 

I've followed all the guides to setup a simple flow to email someone (me for the test) so filtered data from a table in PBI.  However, the Power Automate button does nothing. Doesn't say 'Triggered'. Nothing. I'm admin, I have licences for both PBI abd PA. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

Same problem for me also in the premium capacity workspace. Button works on power bi desktop but in the report, its unresponsive. I have to refresh the report web page few times and make my slicer selections again and then the flow gets "triggered". Is it something to do with the cache of power bi premium workspace but power automate is unable to get the cached data ? Not sure. It would be great if someone can help. 
Another observation is, if the rows and columns are less, the flow works fine. But if data is huge, at times we face this problem. Refresh of web page always helps though.

Same issue. CTRL+click doesnt work either.

Hi @Slumpig ,

 

I don't have much information, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions.

 

Can you roughly describe the operation steps?

 

To test the flow in edit mode of the report, select Back to report, and then press Ctrl + click on the button to run the Flow in the context of the report.

Try the steps above and you can navigate to the edit mode or to Power Automate to view the run history of the flow to ensure its running successfully.

 

For more details please read this.
