Hi Anonymous and thank you for responding,

The feature is called  'Export To File for Power BI Reports' in Power Automate (Apoligies I should of mentioned). This was downloading files into PDF for us.

We do use the AS live connection and not direct query. I have thought about switching to direct query just to do this task however the data source wont allow me to do this without rebuilding reports. 

The flow in Power Automate is:

1. Trigger
2. Export To File for Power BI Reports
3. Email file

This has worked perfectly in the past however now it seems it wont allow PowerBI to load the data before capturing the PDF. So when the PDF is sent out, the visual appear blank.

Kind Regards
Lewis
