auto export of data
Hello - I understand that we will soon be able to get a snapshot of reports auto-emailed on a daily or weekly basis. Do you know if it is or will be possbile to auto-export data from a Power BI tabl...
Not yet! But suggest it as an idea (or see if someone else has already suggested it).

Hey mstarks,
I did a workaround for this in R a while back (before the export to excel option). You can find the post here.
It isn't automatic, but by running the visual or updating the dataset, it will export the data (in a table format) to a CSV or XLSX. You can change it to an excel spreadsheet using this:
library(xlsx) write.xlsx(mydata, "c:/mydata.xlsx")
Not a perfect solution, but might work till they add this feature.
Hope this helps,
Alan
Thank you!
