@simon ...the absurdity of having to use a computationally expensive visual-to-text language model to extract data, when PowerBI usually offers an option to download the data visualized in a given graphic right there on the UI. EDIT: which seems to have been disabled here.

@Sevoris I genuinely cannot find that link! Where is it?

@Sevoris at one point I did try to recreate the alt text from raw measurements in CSV data I found via an older version of the dashboard, but I didn’t trust myself to correctly recreate whatever logic they were using for their high/medium/low indicators

@simon Honestly? I think they disabled it. But I work with PowerBi professionally and I *know* that the UI has dropdown options for "download the data in this visual" build into it. So they must have *disabled it*, which is a special kind of BS all-in-all considering.
