Hi Anonymous ,
You can create a Power Automate flow to export visual data automatically by clicking the flow button.
Please refer this viedo which introduces it step by step:

It's not really an automatic export if it requires pressing a button, is it?
How would one export the data from a table without the button press (e.g. every evening at 8pm)?
Check out my responses in this thread. I do my data pull on a schedule via Power Automate, no manual intervention. It's been some time but that's what I have been doing and the process has been stable.

How can I trigger the "Power BI data" variable without creating a button inside of PowerBI. I want to use Power Automate to grab a specific visual and make it a variable, then drop it into Teams without having to write a whole app to do it.
i understand this exports to excel with a click of a button. i am interested in exporting automatically, i.e. setting it up so it is exported and saved every day at a given time without any human intervention. is there a way to do that?
Yes it can be done. I'm not well versed in this. I am doing this with a table. Not sure what other visuals it works with. I also think you need to be a dataset owner. These are the steps I take.
- Power automate scheduled flow (define your timing)
- PowerBI connector, run a query against a dataset. Identify your workspace and dataset. For the query, I'll explain below.
- Create CSV table. From = first table rows
- Current time
- SharePoint Create File. I name my file with currenttime.csv. File content is output
To get the query, I go to PowerBI Desktop > navigate to the page/visual > View > performance analyzer > start recording > refresh visuals > let it run > stop. Select your visual of interest and expand. Copy the dax code. This is what goes back into the query box in #2.
Great, You saved my day.
