If you are open to third-party solutions, see if BI Helper https://bihelper.tech works for you.

BI Helper is a popular and easy to use SaaS application that generates and emails user-specific PDFs (with filters and slicers applied). It only needs a Power BI Pro license, and doesn't require Power Automate or any other component.

Hello @powerbiexpert22 ,

you can send it as a screenshot in a subscription, and this can be made through power bi directly.

or in the process of sending excel or pdf  then it should be done through power automate.
