Save past totals, connect to Azure DevOps

I have the following table of bugs per team, where each column is a measure, with data that I bring from Azure DevOps.

I need to be able to save the totals, so when I do a new refresh I can contrast it with the previous one (I only need the last one).

Any ideas for not doing it manually in an excel? The ideal would be to be able to choose which one to keep, since although the refresh is scheduled to be done every day, only what is of interest is for a specific day.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.


Snapshots are not possible natively in Power BI, but we can work around that limitation using Power Automate. Power Automate allows you to schedule and capture data at specific intervals, creating a snapshot of the report or dataset. 

Another approach is to use Dataflow Gen 2 to store and track historical totals in Power BI without manual exports. By creating a Power BI Dataflow or a Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse, you can efficiently centralize and manage the data. The dataflow can output bug data to the Lakehouse, where you can store snapshots with corresponding dates, enabling seamless comparisons over time. This method ensures accurate historical tracking while automating data storage and reducing manual effort.
