Allowing public users to download data (excel) - Power BI

Hello, Is there now possibility of exporting data (excel) from a published Power BI dashboard for external, public users who are not Power BI users? (Without specific user invitation). As far as I know, it was not possible in 2022.

Thanks in advance

Hello, As far as I know, Power automate export needs per user license. Are you sure, It will work is case of anonimous, guest users?

Thank you for your attention. Let me clarify. I have publicly published Power BI Dashboard and I want everyone (including all external, public users, who are not Power BI users too) Without specific individual user invitation to be able to download data to Excel. Does Power BI currently allow this?
Thanks

Hi @Anonymous 

No, the Export option is not available when you publish report in the Public
