Howdy, I am insanly new to Power BI / Power Automate. I am quite the strong user in Excel and VBA however. I have generated a report which tells me:
table name: "Emp_Hours_Worked"
Employee | Date/Time | TTL Hours Worked |
101 | 11/25/2021 08:00 | 8 |
102 | 11/25/2021 08:00 | 8 |
(Multiple entries) | (Multiple entries) | (Multiple entries) |
I have another table named "Emp_to_Email":
Employee | |
101 | 101@domain.com |
102 | 102@domain.com |
(Multiple entries) | (Multiple entries) |
The task is to use the "Emp_to_Email" match on Employee, filter table "Emp_Hours_Worked", then export the data and email to the respective employee. I have all the tables set up in Power BI, but I am failing to understand how to automate this task. I do not need a person to solve it aboslutely as I want to learn but google has not friendly, I have even resorted to Bing for a chance....
The goal is to export data from a system as a CSV, Power BI to munge the data, and that data will show if the employee entered in enough time for the day worked. Then Power Automate to take that information and e-mail it to the employee simply providing a table or pdf or png or csv that has all that listed and a generic e-mail saying something like, "Here is your Month to Date time entry, please correct anything that doesn't match to the schedule."
I chose the Power BI Community because I am doing this inside Power BI, if the Power Automate community may be of more assitance lmk.
Due to the data in these tables, I cannot post any actual content 😕
Power BI has no role in automation. It is a manual/interactive tool. What you could do is set up a Power BI dataset with the required data model (table linkages) and then access that dataset from Power Automate or other RPA tools via the XMLA endpoint / DAX query API etc.
