Embedding Power BI reports into web applications

Embedding Power BI reports into web applications allows you to seamlessly integrate your Power BI content into your own website or web application. Here's how to embed Power BI reports into web applications:


1. Register Your Application:

  • Go to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com/) and sign in with your Azure account.
  • Navigate to the "App registrations" section and register a new application.
  • Note down the Application (client) ID and Tenant ID for later use.

2. Generate an Embed Token:

  • Use the Power BI REST API or Power BI .NET SDK to generate an embed token for your report.
  • The embed token will be used to authenticate and authorize access to the report.

3. Embed the Report:

  • Use the Power BI JavaScript API to embed the report into your web application.
  • Include the Power BI JavaScript library in your web page:
<script src="https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/node_modules/powerbi-client/dist/powerbi.js"></script>

         Use the embed configuration and token obtained in step 2 to embed the report:

var embedConfig = {
    type: 'report',
    accessToken: 'your_embed_token_here',
    embedUrl: 'https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=your_report_id_here'
};

var embedContainer = $('#embedContainer')[0];
var report = powerbi.embed(embedContainer, embedConfig);
  • Replace 'your_embed_token_here' with the embed token generated in step 2 and 'your_report_id_here' with the ID of your Power BI report.

4. Customize Embedding:

  • Customize the embedding experience by specifying additional settings such as filters, page navigation, and report themes.
  • Use JavaScript event handlers to handle user interactions and events within the embedded report.

5. Secure Embedding:

  • Ensure that embedding is done securely by validating user authentication and authorization before generating embed tokens.
  • Implement appropriate access controls to restrict access to sensitive reports and data.

6. Test and Deploy:

  • Test the embedded report in your web application to ensure that it displays and functions correctly.
  • Deploy your web application to your hosting environment and make it accessible to your users.

By following these steps, you can embed Power BI reports into your web applications, allowing users to access and interact with your Power BI content seamlessly within your own application environment.

Relationships between tables

In Power BI, relationships between tables are essential for creating accurate and insightful reports. These relationships define how data from different tables interact with each other when performing analyses or creating visualizations. Here's a detailed overview of how relationships between tables work in Power BI: Types of Relationships: One-to-one (1:1):   This is the most common type of relationship in Power BI. It signifies that one record in a table can have multiple related records in another table. For example, each customer can have multiple orders. Many-to-One (N:1):   This relationship type is essentially the reverse of a one-to-many relationship. Many records in one table can correspond to one record in another table. For instance, multiple orders belong to one customer. One-to-Many (1:N):   Power BI doesn't support direct one-to-many relationships.  One record in table can correspond to many records in another table.  Many-to-Many (N:N):  ...

SQL Fundamentals

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the go-to language for managing relational databases. It allows users to interact with databases to retrieve, manipulate, and control data efficiently. SQL provides a standardized way to define database structures, perform data operations, and ensure data integrity. From querying data to managing access and transactions, SQL is a fundamental tool for anyone working with databases. 1. Basics of SQL Introduction : SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for managing and manipulating relational databases. SQL Syntax : Basic structure of SQL statements (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Data Types : Different types of data that can be stored (e.g., INTEGER, VARCHAR, DATE). 2. SQL Commands DDL (Data Definition Language) : CREATE TABLE : Define new tables. ALTER TABLE : Modify existing tables. DROP TABLE : Delete tables. DML (Data Manipulation Language) : INSERT : Add new records. UPDATE : Modify existing records. DELETE : Remove records. DQL (Da...
