    I suggest creating a SharePoint list to store the data.  In your Flow, add the data to the SharePoint list (after you extract it from the post)using a Create Item action.  Create a Power BI report using the SharePoint list as the data source.  Publish the report to the Power BI service.  If you do so, Power Automate can refresh the Power BI data.

    the power bi data source has to be setup with this flow . The data is stored as a teams notification in the channel.

    You might start with a When a New channel message is added trigger.  Then, you'll have access to the message content, who posted the message, etc..  If the message is formatted, you should be able to extract the data that you want from the message.  A split() expression or two will help with this.

    Then, you'll want to update the data source being used by Power BI.  Hopefully, you can update the data source.  If you have published the Report to the Power BI service, you can have Power Automate refresh the data.

    Can you tell me what data source is being used by Power BI and of the messages are formatted the same way every day?
