Hey,

 

this is not supported, at least not now.

If you have a Premium capacity, you might consider to use a scheduled report rendering from within a paginated report.

 

You might also check to look for a 3rd party tool like this one:https://go.christiansteven.com/start-pbrs/how-to-automate-power-bi-reports?utm_campaign=PBRS&utm_sou...

Hi Expert,

I do not understand these steps

 

As Chris Webb described in this article, Power Query can create POST requests to a webservice, thereby passing values in the body of the call to the webservice. This allows to export the data from Power BI. With Flow, it is very easy to setup a webservice: Just create a Flow whose trigger is a “When a HTTP request is received” (no further inputs in that step) and add a “Compose”-action with the Body-element in it. Then save the Flow and copy the generated URL:

Thats a trick.
Power Query collects the data and with a web connector (query) you push the data out to a flow endpoint (Web trigger) as part of your request data.

You have to adapt it to your needs.

Hi @Giant ,

 

you have to create these steps at Power Query.

1. Create a Reference of your Source Table (Query).

2. Convert this to an Array of Records.

3. Convert the Array to a Json Document

4. Push the Json Document to your Flow Web URL.

5. Convert the Webcall Response

Suggestion please

Hi @Giant ,

 

I'm skeptical if this proof of concept can transfer millions of records.

 

You don't need to add power apps to do this task.

Reference

Reference is another way of copying a query, However, the big difference is that; When you reference a query, the new query will have only one step: sourcing from the original query. A referenced query, will not have the applied steps of the original query.
