Snapshot data from Power BI Report to Lakehouse

[zenisekd]

Hi, 

I am looking for the easiest way to snapshot calculated table results from Power BI report into a lakehouse. Year ago I have seen several videos on this topic, they used notebooks and dataflow I believe. Today I am having difficulties finding it. Could somebody advice? 

All I could find is this: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-get-data-out-power-bi-microsoft-fabric-infuse-data-solutions-7cg8...

Thanks

So the best solution I came up with was to use the Notebook, where I connected to a semantic model via semantic link. Did some dax evaluate in the notebook, in order to pull the data from the Power BI report, and stored the data in a lakehouse. Next I placed the notebook into a pipeline, where I did set scheduled activation. Finally, I used power flow to fine-tune the data.

Sorry, but this is not what I was looking for. Solution you posted requires Custom Power On visuals (a third party).

You are correct. I see some things about using Power Apps embedded but nothing about using dataflows

Well, the best I could find so far is using data pipeline (to orchestrate the start and destination) in combination with a notebook (to pull the data, perhaps via Semantic link).
