nope, you can export a dataset to a destination and send the file off somewhere for Power BI to read it. However, if you want to go and create a specific destination dataset for PowerBI and send it across, going to need DD for that (well to create the dataset). Will probably also want to manage it externally via APIs and python so you can clear up previous batches from the dataset. But a straight dataset export, can do via normal destination exports

 

basically set up a new destination and set it to export datasets. added a pic as an attachment

 

cheers
