Help connecting Power Automate to Power BI

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Hi there, I am trying to create what I thought would be a pretty simple flow to download about 100 reports from a Power BI dashboard into a SharePoint folder as PDFs. Then I planned to use Power Automate Desktop to convert these PDFs into Excel files. I am stuck on the first part though. Every time I go to test my flow, I get an error on the create file action. Here is the error: Action 'Create_file' failed: Invalid file name clientRequestId: c5bdb925-3526-44fe-a86f-2f594ca12243 serviceRequestId: 5c4f7ea1-a079-7000-f5fc-9da73991cc65 . I have tried pasting this error into chatgpt at least 10 times. I have followed all the steps to de-bug the file name. Nothing works, not even the more basic of file names which leads me to believe the error is not really with the naming format of the file. I am attaching a picture of the flow steps I have so far. PLEASE HELP! Besides a bad file name, what could cause this error?
