Get supplier name + date in name of my onedrive file from PowerBI

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi,

I wonder how I can get my supplier name in the "create file" name.

I can't find anything from PowerBI in my Dynamic Content except "timestamp (for flow), UserID, User name, User Email". 

Could I use "expression" to target a column from my PowerBI export?

My whole flow looks like this.

It's for getting an excel file from PowerBI service to the inbox. 

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Initialize a variable and store the supplier name in it. Use variable in create file name.

     

    Let me know if this works for you.

     

    Regards

    Hi, 

    I tried to set a variable but it keeps asking for a Name but doesn't give me the alternative to set one 😕

    Okey, 

    I've found a solution to my own problem. 

    When I couldn't find any data in the beginning of my problem, it was because I went to Power Automate directly and not through my PowerBI Power Automate Button. 

    Because now I see my data.

    Jfyi.. 

     

    As you are using Apply each and initializing the variable inside loop. This invalid initialization. Same variable cannot be Initialized again.
