Capturing Objects in PowerBi


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

Hi Team,

I am not able to capture objects in the Power bi Web Version using the recorder.

Please suggest me any other options to capture.

 

Thanks,

Lokesh

Hi ​@Chris 621,

this is also working for me. 😊

 

Here is what I did: 👇👀

 

On L2 Bot need to wait for the “Power BI Report”.

Used only: DOMXPath as //div[@aria-label='Power BI Report'] and HTML FramePath as IFRAME[1] .

 

On L3 Bot select the object in Power BI where to download the report from.

Used: Loop action and [TAB] in Simulate keystrokes action.

 

On L5 Bot click “More options”.

Used only: DOMXPath as //button[@aria-label='More options'] and HTML FramePath as IFRAME[1] .

 

On L6 Bot click “Export data”.

Used only: DOMXPath as //button[@aria-label='Export data'] and HTML FramePath as IFRAME[1] .

 

On L7 Bot click “Export” button.

Used only: DOMXPath as //button[@aria-label='Export']  and HTML FramePath as IFRAME[1] .

 

I hope this will help.

 

Cheers

Marc

That doesn’t work. None of the Capture action technologies appear to work. Is there a solution for this?

This is for the actual Power BI application, not the web cloud version of a report in a workspace. Need to be able to interact with it there, not the PBI application itself.

Hi ​@GuruLokesh92,

 

this worked for me… 👇👀 (Recorder version: 3.3.1)

 

Just specify the “DOMXPath” and the “HTML FramePath”

 

Cheers

Marc

That only works with the Export window that pops up after you’re able to bring up the hidden hover click menus in PowerBI. The capture action does not recognize those hover menus themselves.

Workaround for me was that it was a table matrix visual and if I clicked within the visual data, it brings up the hover menu and stays.
