Export to PDF current values using Power Automate

I wanted to export a page with the current values selected in Power BI using Power Automate. I already tried to use Power Automate, however it is only reflecting the unfiltered data (default values). What I need is to have the end-user select from multiple slicers, then have it exported into a PDF file and sent it to email. Is there a way to do it using Power Automate?

    Are your clients viewing the Power BI report embedded in your own app ? If so I believe you should capture the bookmark state using the JavaScript API and pass it to Power Automate to be used when calling the "Export to File" API

    Hi magdanganeg, 

     

    See if BI Helper https://bihelper.tech works for your use case.

     

    BI Helper is a third-party SaaS tool that automates user-specific PDF generation and emailing (i.e., with slicers and filters applied) from Power BI.

     

    BI Helper requires you to have one Power BI Pro (or higher) license. Your end-users can be internal or external to your organization and don't need Power BI licenses to receive their PDFs.
