Also please do not merge any headers in groups that you create. This would help create a valid table output. Click Advanced mode in groups to verify your settings as below :

I have exactly the same question and I can figure out how to export as an exel table to be able to use it from Power automate. 
I get the data exported but without the proper table formatting. abpgupta did you figure it out?

Yes, in Paginated Report, I created a dummy column with value as 'ALL' for export. creating it at (0,0) position ensures there are no additional blank rows to deal/filter with.


Then in Power Automate, used "create table" giving a suitable high range with custom table name.  

Then used List value present in table with filter on dummy column (eq 'ALL') to exclude blank rows from table. 

Now with this output , you can populate data to other steps.
