Hello @djm7 

• Make sure that your internet connection is stable and there are no interruptions. You might also try switching to a different network to see if the issue persists.
• Make sure that you are using the latest versions of Power BI Desktop and Power Automate. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements.
• Check your permissions, make sure that you have the necessary permissions to access the Power BI dataset and to create and write to the CSV file.

Hi @djm7 

If you're getting a network error while trying to send data from a Power BI Desktop table to a CSV using Power Automate, here are some things to check:

Ensure Power BI Desktop is open and running when executing the Flow. Power Automate cannot connect if Power BI is closed.
Enable remote queries in Power BI Desktop:
Go to File > Options & Settings > Options > Security
Make sure "Allow remote connections to this dataset" is checked.
Check your firewall or proxy settings—they might be blocking Power Automate from reaching Power BI Desktop.
Try running the Flow from Power Automate Online to see if the issue persists.
Test with a different output format (e.g., Excel instead of CSV) to check if the issue is specific to CSV export.
Check the full error message—it might give more details about what's causing the failure.
If the issue continues, consider asking in the Power Automate forum for further help.
