Hi All, 
I am new to power automate. I would like to automate downloading a SharePoint report automatically every week. Can you help me understand how to go about this. Where do I start. Which flow to use.

    Does anyone have a solution to this yet? I tried Power Automate Desktop but i got the data loss prevention (DLP) policy message.

    I don't know of a way to automatically generate the Site Usage report in Power Automate.  You may/may not be able to do this by using an HTTP action and the Graph API.  Note that using the HTTP action requires a premium license.

    Oh! Yes I could just email it! That a good idea!
    I can basically email the report(excel) every week right? 

    As you can see below ,right now i am downloading the report every week by clicking the download symbol. so i wanted to automate that and put it under a folder on a different sharepoint

    You can't automatically download anything with Power Automate cloud Flows.  The best you can do is email a file.

    What type of report do you want to generate?  A Power BI report?  Excel?  CSV?

    @ScottShearer  Thanks alot for your reply. 

    What i mean by SharePoint report is that from a SharePoint site I want to download a report automatically every Monday.

    Can you explain a little more about what you mean by a "SharePoint report"?

    Also, you won't be able to use Flow to automatically download anything - you can automatically email a file every week.
