Power automate = Export to PDF file from Power BI Report

HI community, 

 

I used power automate to generate a scheduled export of BI reports for extranal clients.  My current license is Power BI Pro.

 

The error of the flow says : Required dedicated capacity, Confused which license is required of Power BI ? Will Premium Per User work for this purpose?

 

Cheers.

I'm sorry I was wrong before.

Premium licence is definitely OK, but PPU users can‘t use this function for PBI report, only paginated reports can. 

Microsoft Idea  · Make the Power Automate 'Export To File for Power BI Report' available to Premium-...

Hi @schoden 

 

See this article to automate the export of PDFs from Power BI using Power Automate. https://medium.com/bi-helper/burst-your-power-bi-reports-838ab593f7bc

 

This solution works with a single Power BI Pro license.

Hi, @schoden 

 

Yes, dedicated capacity is the old saying, which is premium capcacity now. PPU user can also use but need to put the report to ppu workspace.

 

Did I answer your question ? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please feel free to ask me.
