Currently the Power Automate 'Export To File for Power BI Report' functionality is only available to Premium license holders, NOT to users that are on the Premium-Per-User trial.

This is pretty basica functionality that's desperately needed... why on Earth would I pay $5K + per month for this when I can do it with the base software on Salesforce's Tableau, Alteryx, Cognos, and just about every other self-service analytics tool.

As it stands, it'd be cheaper for us to hire someone to sit in an office to generate and email our 3 daily reports manually, than it would be to pay for dedicated capacity to automate this. Literally unbelievable...

My company is already paying for Power Automate and Power BI Premium per user license. This feature is so much needed.

But I would be overkill to buy premium space.

Please, let us export to PDF from a Power BI report using PPU.

Come on Microsoft!

You've got a good product here, but this limitation doesn't make sense when using PPU.

Please fix this instead of doing Power BI monthly updates with many cosmetic changes.

Or maybe it's intentional cause you want to force organizations to pay for Premium capacity? I don't beleive this...Microsoft products have becoming so open these last years, there is no valid reason to block this door. Open it!

Thanks!

RE: Make the Power Automate 'Export To File for Power BI Report' available to Premium-Per-User

Come on Microsoft this is crazy, I have to pay thousands a month just to be able to run some API calls??? All you are doing with this limitation is causing people to create silly workarounds using the subscription system and Power Automate, it's so unnecessary when the API call is right there.


Could you at least add another payment tier that allows API access instead of requiring a premium capacity, or allow it with a reduced rate limit or something? This is so annoying, please fix this...
