    Hi powerbiexpert22 

     

    If you wish to send an alert for each exception detected in a line chart, you need to ensure that each exception can trigger the conditions set for the alert.


    This may involve setting specific conditions that each exception is expected to fulfill.


    However, Power BI does not automatically send a separate alert for each exception detected by the Anomaly Detection feature in a line chart.


    The anomaly detection feature is more about visualizing and understanding anomalies in the data than triggering an alert.

    To create an alert based on specific conditions, consider the following steps:

     

    Ensure that the data is refreshed regularly, as alerts will be triggered based on the refreshed data.

     

    Configure alerts using the Manage Alerts option on the dashboard tile.

     

    Set data alerts in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Please consider integrating Power BI with Power Automate.

    If your requirement is to automatically detect an alert for each anomaly, you may need to use Power Automate to explore customizing your solution to check for anomalies and then trigger an alert based on your specific conditions.
