Then Start Creating a power automate flow.

 

1. Take new Scheduled Cloud Flow.
2. In the Recurrence activity set your Scheduled time intervals.
3. Click + New Step → Search "Power BI" → Select "Run a query against a dataset".
  1. Select the workspace and dataset which you have created previously.
  2. add below Dax Query change you table and column name as per your requirements.
    EVALUATE
    ROW("RowCount", COUNTROWS(FILTER('CustomerData', 'CustomerData'[CustomerID] < 20000)))
4. Click + New Step + Condition to check if there are any rows with above condition add the body('Run_a_query_against_a_dataset')?['results'][0]?['tables'][0]?['rows'][0]?['[RowCount]'] is greater than 0
5. Inside True condition add Export To File for Power BI Reports activity, select your report.
