Export To File for Power BI Reports - File Format

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by nigelreilly 10

Hello,

I have created a flow which will send a single page of a PowerBi report to an email. 

 

The flow works fine except for the attachment format wont open as its not recognised. I have tried it with PDF PPT and PNG and all file types will not open. 

 

Am i missing a step somewhere? 

Thanks

    Figured it out. For anyone else that has this problem, on the email attachment you must add the format to the file name, eg FILENAME.PDF
