Hi @konto_3 ,

 

Please check the requirements below:

3) Get configure with the Power BI Gateway.

4) Make sure Power Automate is connected correctly with Power BI.

In my test, Update PBI dataset using Power Automate works if you meet the above requirements.

Can you provide more detail?

Does power automate give an error? Eg what does it do?

Do you have a pro licence?

What permissions do you have on the workspace in question.
