Power BI Premium Per User Capability

I have a requirement to create an Power Automate workflow that extract data to excel from a Power BI report. Would Power BI Premium Per User be able to do that? Thanks. 

  • "Premium per user (PPU) license

    A PPU per-user license provides the license holder with all of the capabilities of Power BI Pro plus access to most Premium capacity-based features. A Power BI PPU license unlocks access to extra features, capabilities, and types of content that are only available with a paid license. This access is limited to the PPU license holder and other colleagues who also have a PPU license. For example, in order to collaborate and share content in a PPU workspace, all users must have a PPU license.

    When you use a PPU license, content created by you can only be shared with other users who also have a PPU license. The exception is when that content is saved in a workspace hosted in Premium capacity. The table summarizes the basic capabilities of each license type."

    So Premium Per User can do it.
