    Thanks Eric_Zhang.

     

    I was able to resolve this and set the page dynamically.

     

    Instead of fetching the page using page name as mentioned in my intial post, I got an array of all the pages and then set whichever page needs to be active.This worked.

     

    My previous code:

    const page = report.page(pageName);
    page.setActive();

     

    My current code:

    var pages = [];

    report.getPages().then(function (reportPages) {
    pages = reportPages;
    });

    pages[1].setActive();

     

    Hope this helps someone visiting here for the same issue.

The simpliest solution is:

 

    var report = powerbi.embed(reportContainer, config);

    report.on('loaded', function () {
        report.getPages().then(function (pages) {
            pages[1].setActive();
        });
    });

or even simpler in ES6

 

    const report = powerbi.embed(reportContainer, config);

    report.on('loaded', () => {
        report.getPages().then(pages => pages[1].setActive());
    });

report.getPages() at the beginning is not working because report itself is not fully loaded yet. Just for people who whant to set a page at the start.

    the problem is that this is not user friendly, the first page loads ... then gets changed to page x.

    I don't understand why the documentation says something and when you can to implement it, it doesn't work.

    updateSettings for locale doesn't work also ... :/
