Posted on by 2

    @JohnT:

     

    If you use the PowerBI Desktop app you can connect directly to a SharePoint list or library.  Take a look at this capability as it will likely eliminate the need for a Flow to export the data.

    If this addresses your issue, please mark your post as Solved.
