Export daily PowerPoint file to a folder
hi all,
is it possible to export a daily PowerPoint file (or .png file) of a Report in Power BI Service to a local folder?
I was thinking about a way in Power Automate but may there are other options?
Thanks for ideas!
Hi Pikachu-Power ,
If you want to use Power Automate to export and email Power BI reports.
There are two prerequisites：
1.At least one workspace in your Power BI tenant backed by a reserved capacity. This capacity can be any of the A1/EM1 - A6/P3 SKUs. Read more about reserved capacities in Power BI Premium.
2.Access to the standard connectors in Power Automate, which come with any Office 365 subscription.I saw a similar thread during the investigation, can you please check if this meets your needs?
Automatically export PowerBI report to PowerPoint at set intervals
Hope it helps,

Power Automate is the simplest option - apart from the "save to a local folder" piece which you may want to seriously reconsider.
You can use whatever tool you want that can issue HTTP requests. Powershell or curl etc. But in that case you have to do all the work manually that Power Automate is doing for you, including issuing the render request, waiting for the render to complete, and then fetching the result.
Hi thanks for your feedback! Some idea/plan how to realize that in power automate? How triggers and action would i need?
Straightforward - this is standard Power Automate functionality. Here is an example
Strange... such a standard doesnt exist in my case. I also cant find an action like "Export To File for Power BI Reports".
May this standard also only works for paginated reports? We use pro with no premium and hence have no paginated reports.
