Question for Automated Updates

‎11-27-2023 02:15 PM

I have a theory, but I am looking for resources to help me flush out my idea to see if it can even be done.

 

  1. I get daily reports automatically emailed to me containing the data I use for the PBI I built.
  2. I want to use Power Automate to dump those attachments into a Sharepoint location, then;
  3. Have Power BI automatically evaluate the "Folder" on Sharepoint whenever I "refresh data" and add any files within that folder to the data set.

There might be something already built into PBI that allows for this, but I can't find it w/ my Google Searching.

 

Does anyone have a resource you can point me at that might walk me through how I would set this up?
