How can I export data from power bi visuals to excel automatically?
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:

The best way is to publish your Power BI Dataset, build a paginated report with the data you want, publish that and subscribe to it at the desired frequency. Use a unique string in the subject line so you can use it to trigger a Flow that stores the file somewhere (e.g., SharePoint library).

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.
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.
If i want to export the power bi data to excel by using power automated but save the excel file in local not in OneDrive or SharePoint .Is it possible?
Just sync your one drive or sharepoint folder with your computer and it will be local as well as online
Is that true? Scheduling an automated export without 'human intervention' requires a Premium/Capacity license?
