Hi,
i have view access to powe bi report hosted on azure app.
is there a way to automate the data extraction?
at the moment i have to log onto the app or site using username and pass then manually press the ellipse (...) and click export.
i really want to automate it but the report owner wont give out API or create any other automation.
just wonder if anyone got a solution around this?
thanks in advance.
Hi. I'm sorry but as a Viewer in an Azure app and not even inside Power Bi desktop I don't think you can do anything. The report or App owner has de power to do that in different ways. Unless you get help from him I think you will have to do it manually like now.
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
Hi
Not even with power automate desktop?
I don't think because you might need building permission for something like that and you said you are just viewer 😞
Regards,
Happy to help!
