Power Bi to Sharepoint to Powerpoint (auto trigger by Power Automate)

I am asked to do the following.

 

1-Export BI Dataset to excel and create/save in SharePoint (using Power Automate)

2-Autorefresh this dataset via Power Automate everyday

3-Create Powerpoint slides using the excel data in Sharepoint (as the data updated ppt will also updates as usual)

 

For Power BI excel export, I use "analyze in excel" but I cannot auto refresh this data using Power Automate. 

 

Please help

There's a thread on this here:

But generally speaking, your best bet when dealing with Power BI is to just use the live embed addon in Power Point - it looks much better, doesn't require updating, and is more supported. 

 

If you're trying to "refresh" an Excel file with Power Automate, I'd just overwrite the file with your scheduled flow - if you give it the same filename each time and have it run on a schedule, it should do that. It's generally much easier to create CSV files with Power Automate than it is to create XLSX files, if you're open to that.
