Embed Tableau Dashboards into tiles
Is there a way to embed a Tableau Dashboard in a tile in my Power BI Dashboard?

To use it, just create a measure that evaluates to a tableau public dashboard src url string. (ex: http://public.tableausoftware.com/views/champions/champions?:embed=y&:from_wg=true)
The visual will be blank in PBI Desktop - but as soon as you view it online and click "enable custom visuals" it should display just fine.

Can't tell if this is a sly way of saying that Power BI is consuming Tableau... or if serious.
There is obviously no direct way the two would work together, however, since you can direct any tile to point to a custom URL path... I don't know how Tableau shakes out for external use, but presumably if it is exposed via a URL, you could redirect to that web page, thus creating the illusion that Tableau is connected to the tile... (In theory)
Agree with Anonymous
OR, if you have sharepoint, you may also be able to display the tableau component within a sharepoint app.
I am assuming you are transitioning to Power BI, but are looking for an interim solution. Good choice ! It's taken me a while to prove to various departments in my company that Tableau is not flexible or scalable.

That is exactly what I am looking for. Yes please.
Thanks!!!

I don't think this solution works with the latest version of PowerBI.
