Power BI Data(Excel) refresh using PowerApps

‎04-10-2020 07:51 AM

Hi Team,

 

I want to refresh Power BI Data using PowerApps. Data source is excel and it is saved in a shared drive. When ever new comments are added to excel it has to be populate in PowerBI(in real time). My manager asked me to implement PowerApps, However i am very new to PowerApp and no much idea whether it is possible or not. Any suggession would really help.

 

Thank you,

Vikas

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

take a look at this.

The process chain should be.

PowerApp --> Power Automate --> Power BI Refresh
