Helper IIExtracting a PBI page with Power automate does not support exporting a PowerApps Visual
Hello PBI Community,
I am wondering if it is possible to extract a PBI report with a PowerApps visual in it.
I am using the "Export to file for Power BI Reports" step in my Power automate flow to extract my report to pdf.
The problem is that what I see, instead of my PowerApps visual is this error message "This visual does not support exporting"
Seems weird as Power Automate, Power apps and Powerbi are all from Power Platform and should work well together...
Thank you for your help !
Hi Bastienlin_
Unfortunately the "Export to File" Power BI API doesn't support exporting PowerApps visual. You can see the list of limitations here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to#considerations-and-limitations
It doesn't really matter whether you call the API from Power Automate, or directly from your code.
Thanks,
Amos

Bastienlin_Hi AmosHersch,
I am using the "Export to file for Power BI Reports" from a Power automate flow:Does it have the same limitations as the "Export to File" API from Power BI that you just shared ?

Hi Bastienlin_
The "Export to file for Power BI Reports" in Power Automate is just a convenient way for users to call the Power BI REST API (low code/no code approach). When you run the flow it calls the Power BI API with your credentials. So it does have the same limitations.
