Schedule Power BI Report Extracts using Power Automate
One of the major benefits of creating reports in Power BI is the flexibility in how users can distribute content. Many business users prefer reports to be accessed through PDFs to be used in external presentations. Using the Power Platform's low-code interface, Elayne Jones explains how to create a Power Automate flow to automate the PDF extraction process. Rather than relying on users to manually extract reports, the flow can then be scheduled to run on a scheduled cadence, allowing business users to receive the information on a reliable basis, without needing to request information from IT support. This solution demonstrates the time-saving potential of Power Platform integration by freeing users from manual drudgery without needing to create a custom application.
Integrating Power Apps with Power BI Reports
When users consume Power BI content, one of the most common requests is to modify the content’s underlying data. A creative solution is to create a Power App that allows users to update the data in its source. Then, embed the Power App on a Power BI report. The seamless integration of the Power Platform allows developers to create a single location for both updating and analyzing data – creating a uniquely interactive experience for users.
