Platform to host power bi reports

Hi all, 

 

I am looking for a platform that will allow me to publish power bi reports and share them outside of the organization, ideally with users that don't have Power Bi installed. I came across this A White Label Business Intelligence Platform for Power BI (thereportinghub.com) 

 

Do you have any other ideas/solutions? 

 

I would much appreciate any help on this topic.

 

 

  • Hi again, Dyniel!

     

    Yes, this report I sent to you can be accessed by anyone with the link.

     

     

    Buuuut...
    Yes, theres is a way to create a password to the report:

    You must create a "New Parameter" (look at the red circle), and set a interval of options, like 9999 for example, then a new table will be created (look at the blue circle):

     

     

    After that, I created a measure named CHECK where I defined a var named CHECK1 and made a conditional expression to retur the report, if the person set the correct password, or a page with "Incorrect Password" if the password isn't correct. Notice that I defined the password in the fifth line of the code:

     

     

    For the last I renamed the parameter box to "password". After I created a action for the Submit box where I set the measure CHECK like the Action(red) function(blue) to define to where the page should go acording with the password (correct or incorrect) the people write.

     

     

    Here's the link of the new report:

    The password is: 1848 (write and press enter, after click in Submit)
    If you want you can create a large number of logins with different passwords, in this case I created just one named "Ford" to exemplify.

    I really hope it helps you. 🤝

  • Ola! Thank you for this tip however this is not an ideal solution for me. To my understanding, this will always be public so everyone with the link can access the report. Is there an option to create some credentials so only people with the password can see the report?

        Hi, this is fantastic however I can't make this submit button work. Any ideas? 

         

        Much appreciate your help!

  • Hi, Dyniel

     

    You should create an account in this website to login in Power BI online:

    https://powerbi.microsoft.com/pt-br/

     

    Then you will be able to upload your pbix report by your Power BI desktop, take a look:

    (it's Publish)

     

    The next step is to open your report on Power BI online, it is too easy. LooK:

     

    Then you select the report you upload that you want to share, (here are my reports):

     

     

    Then, you create a link to share your report:

     

     

    Here's this one:

    I hope I help you.
