    Hi tomperro 

    You can refer to the following post, but it says you need Pro and Embedded subscriptions for his approach.

    The Power Automate based solution detailed by PBI Guy for report bursting (PDFs sliced or filtered on a parameter like company, product, branch, etc) is hard to implement and not very scalable as the slicer values increase. Besides having complex licensing requirements both for the sender and recipient. 

     

    If you are open to third-party solutions, see BI Helper https://bihelper.tech, an easy to use SaaS application that automates the generation and emailing of user-specific PDFs (with filters and slicers applied). It is secure, scalable and reliable and requires a single Power BI Pro / PPU license.

     

    It doesn't require Power Automate or any other tools, and can be easily set up and run by a business user.
