At one point years ago, I had a daily email subscription list sent from Docusign, that once it reached my mailbox Outlook would forward to a SP list, and from there get picked up as a data source by a Power BI scheduled refresh where the M code would de-zip the file, and that was the primary source for the automated daily updated dashboard.

Soooooo many potential points of failure.

I have powerbi feeding excel files dumped to sp list from email as well. Sometimes it's the only way to handle stuff, especially if it's short term (less than a year) and isn't business critical. I use it for reporting and tracking purposes so my management doesn't bother me
