Power Automate upload data to Teams for source of pbix model

Does anyone know how can I upload a SharePoint List file to a Teams channel and save as an Excel file in Teams using Power Automate, please?

I have a Power BI Desktop model that has an Excel file as its' source data originating from a SharePoint List, with which I would like to create a Power Automate button for users to update the data in the PBI file, as and when they want to.

Currently it is a manual process (that I'm having to do), to Export to Excel, save to my Desktop as ianmacleod_4-1655813364681.png  (owssvr.iqy), open it and Enable, save as xlsx file with the file name (CIR Portal Data Table.xlsx) in to the

Source Data folder >> ianmacleod_5-1655813437738.png.

Then, when a user downloads the PBI in Teams, they Refresh to update the PBI file with the most recent data in SharePoint.
