Extract data from a filtered view

I want to trigger an automation (Integromat / Make) based on data from a filtered view of a Power BI report page.

The obvious solution would be to calculate everything before writing to the database. So I would trigger the automation based on the data read directly from it.

 

But I want to be able to use metrics from PowerBI as data source.

And I also want to be able to filter the data before extracting it.

 

Is that possible?

I can use DAX within automation tools?

Yes, from SSIS, PowerShell, Power Automate etc.

You can run DAX queries against Power BI datasets.  No need to torture the report.
