Automated Dataset Download from Power BI Service After Refresh
Hi shon_tytus
Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
If you only have access to Power BI Service, your options are limited. If the dataset is in a Premium Workspace, you can use XMLA Endpoints to connect and extract data with tools like SSMS, Python, or Power BI Desktop. If it’s not in Premium, there’s no direct way to download the full dataset automatically, but you can manually export data from reports (with row limits) or use Analyze in Excel if enabled. If scripting is allowed, you can try the Power BI REST API (requires setup). If Power Automate is available, it’s the easiest way to automate exports.
If this solution helps, please consider giving us Kudos and accepting it as the solution so that it may assist other members in the community
