Hey Matt, thanks for your remark. Yes - I'm referring to the "Story Telling" feature.

 

I'm using the text mode from within Wordpress pasting the generated HTML-Code, this look like this (sorry for providing just links, but it seems I'm also not able to provide some proper screenshots within this frame :-( (guess, today is one of these days)

in preview mode it looks like this

The fun thing, the link would work as expected, opening my Power BI Report.

 

Maybe this has something to do with the support of the iframe tags in wordpress as described here

 

or maybe it's just my theme.

I see.  Very strange.  Yes this has to be a wordpress setting I think.  I would ask on a wordpress forum and discuss that an iframe is not rendering (as opposed to discussing that Power BI is not working).  I think that will give you the fastest result.

    I have the same problem. I'm using the free hosting provided by Wordpress, maybe it's because of that. I can embed youtube videos and google maps, but not Power BI reports. Perhaps we need the iframe plugin, but that means we need to upgrade to the premium hosting (or to a provider like hostgator?).

      Hey,

       

      until now it's ...wordpress.com that does not support iframe(s) per se, just whitelisted sources, e.g. youtube :-(

       

      Due to to the fact that I just started my blogging career I will move blogspot, where the embedding of Power BI works fine, as you can see here minceddata.blogspot.com (this was just a test simple test :-) )

       

      Now I will experiment with svg files that contain embedded javascript and then I will make my move.

        Hi Tom,

         

        thanks for the info! Like you, I've just started blogging (today!), because I was excited by the idea of storytelling with (public) data.   Therefore, no problem switching to blogspot ;-)

        Just looking forward having R in Power Bi.com as well... 

        Grüsse aus Zürich
