Hi Team,
We have a Power BI PPU trail account. We have built a report and published it to the PPU dedicated workspace; also created a flow in Power Automate to automate the export of the report in a PDF format. While doing so we are facing the following error:
Can you please guide us further on this.
Thanks in advance,
Soumya Vinod.

Hi @Sanket7030
Did you ever get a solution to this? I'm having the same problem and the only alternative I can find is to create paginated reports.
Thanks
Hello schoolbi_novice
For me it is clear now, the only solution is to use paginated reports. You'll need a PPU licence for that.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin @Maurits @AhmedKhodir .
Did any solution work for you guys?
If yes, then please share the same.

Hi @Sanket7030
There s no workaround 😞 at a time..
Nevertheless here is how I proceed :
Evertime I have a report to develop for and end user, I ask him some question in order to determine if the report will be a "PowerBi Report" (no automatic export,) or a "Paginated Report" (automatic export possible).
This way it works quiet well, even I have to admin that sometimes, some reports are redondant between the two platforms. But, and because I only work with SQL queries to get the data it is quiet fast to get them in both reports format. :-))
I m not saying that it is the best way to proceed, but it is mine .. :-))

Last week I followed the same steps and my flow worked.
But today, the same flow is not working.
Seems like there is some issue with Power Automate service.

Hi @Sanket7030
It depends on what you're talking about.
I have 5 paginated reports automatcally exported to PDF and sent by email using Power Automate, everyday at 5 PM and I don t have any issue.

Right.
It works perfectly for paginated report but for a Power BI report, I am getting that error.

Hi,
I have not tested again a to export a PowerBi report using Power Automate with only a PPU licence.
For me it has never worked because of the licencing problem, that's why I have switched to paginated reports when needed.
I'll try later again, but I m not aware that the PPU licence allows exportation of Power Bi reports with Power Automate.
Regards,
Jérôme
hello, can someone give a clear answer to this problem, that it is the power bi license level sufficient to export the report to a file with power automate?
Hello @baghdad
The answer is clearly No.
You cannot export a PowerBi report, with PPU Licence using Power Automate.
The only reports you can export with Power Automate are Paginated Reports.

I think it is not, by design.
Please check this MS documentation with the list of limitations, including:
@Syndicate_Admin I have the same exact issue, and if the PPU is not doing such a simple task, that won't force me by anyway to even try PPC, I am in the PPU trial, but surely will not upgrade 😞
Hi
I get the same eror as you and I tnink it is simply because the PowerBi features are not available with a PPU Licence, but only with a Per Capacity Premium Licence (the full and expensive one .. :-))
From my point of view, and because of this lack, the PPU licence is in fact not interesting, unless you want to use paginated reports.
