The new power BI embedded available in Azure looks great. Currently it looks like you can just embed reports. I would like to embed dashboards and individual charts as well.

As of June 2017, The Power BI service and Power BI Embedded came together to offer a single API for embedding your dashboards and reports. This means you now have one API surface, a consistent set of capabilities and access to the latest Power BI features – such as dashboards, gateways and app workspaces – when embedding your content. You can read more about it here- https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-embedding/ For those who work with the Power BI Embedded Workspace Collection solution, we built a migration tool for easier data transition.

This appears to be currently live with the recent changes in the past couple of months. Should this idea be closed out

Tiles are very important feature that helps to communicate the story across the board. Hope to have this feature soon on Power Bi Embedded.

RE: Use power BI Embedded with Dashboards and tile

The main benefit of the single object integration is to pull visualisations from power bi and to build reusable templates, objects that could be pulled : visualisations, filters, datasets.
currently the main limitation is about the interaction and the user experience, the only workaround to split one visualisation per page and to pull the visualisations into the template using the js api. this workaround generates inconsistency when interacting with the template, more specially when applying a document filter on a specific visualisation, it doesn't apply the filter to the other visualisations comming from different power bi pages.
hope it could be adressed in future release of api.

RE: Use power BI Embedded with Dashboards and tile

We had a requirement from a client who needed to embed individual visualisations (/tiles) in their web pages which are detailed reports on specific topic areas. The reports were being served to the public, so we needed to use Power BI Embedded.

I can see a lot of other very useful applications for this feature too - it will give a lot of flexibility around how custom web pages and apps can be built up. Power BI can then be used as a core component in a tech stack for delivering analytics.

My original question from the forums: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/How-can-I-embed-a-single-Power-BI-Tile-or-Visualisation-instead/m-p/98593/highlight/false#M3458

RE: Use power BI Embedded with Dashboards and tile

This is critical for our plans. would be great for 1) to embed a pre-built dashboard, and 2) allow web users to make their own dashboards - although I wonder if that would need to be handled separately somehow with more heavy lifting being done in the embedded web ap...

Ability to embed a tile by index or name from a report in Azure instead of a dashboard as dashboards are user-personalized or at least set the focus mode to a tile using the Javascript SDK when loading a report.

RE: Use power BI Embedded with Dashboards and tile

The PowerBI Report that is embedded into an Application doesn't gel too well visually with the rest of the application. Definitely need the ability to embed Tiles without breaking the interactivity.
