Hi Power BI experts,

 

I am currently having a trouble to export data from power bi dataflow to azure sql database. Is there a way to do it?

 

Thanks,

Simon

Based on my understanding, there is no REST API for dataflow data extraction directly but there is one for Dataset.

So you need to create a dataset mapping to the dataflow and can extract the data . Please refer the below thread for data extractions from dataset:

Thank you. I am asking the provider team to grant me Kusto or DB access now. Dataflow is not the one I need to work on. I have a traditional way to export data using python script to do a dataset refresh to achieve that goal.
