Is there a way to dump a Power BI dataset into a file using Power Automate?

Hi all,

 

I have a Power BI dataset that retrieves data from a SQL Server database every day, but it doesn't keep the historical data.

 

Is there a way to dump the dataset into a file using Power Automate? Once per day?

 

This would solve my problem.

 

Thank You.

    Hi @WebPortal ,

     

    With Power Automate, the answer is no. But I found a blog in Power BI community:

    Schedule Automated Data Exports from Power BI usin... - Microsoft Power BI Community

     

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for helping. It's hard to believe this isn't possible to do with Power Automate, isn't it a much requested feature?

    With R or Python, I can handle, I was just trying to avoid data gateways.

     

    Thank you so much!
