Embedding Live Data

proka — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:29:01 GMT

I am trying to embed a report for days now, with no luck.

The report has live data, so I understand that I cannot use the File > Publish to Web > Create embed code, because it doesn't refresh the data.

So I wrote a program which Authenticates into Azure AD and gets the Embed Token, which I put in here:

https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/v2-demo/index.html#

The report displays, but guess what? IT DOESN"T WORK WITH LIVE DATA. I have changed the data in the DB (source), but the report is the same.

WHAT AM I MISSING? Where was I wrong?

PS. I know about the "Refresh Frequency" in the PowerBI, which can be set to as low as 15 mins, but this ain't "Direct Query", this is still 15 mins old. I really don't get it.

Hi,

As with every Microsoft product, this is getting frustrating and ridiculous.

Hi @proka,

For the problem when you were attempting to get the embedded report through API, you'd better post thread on Developer forum to get more professional advice.

Thanks,

Hi,

Embedding Reports for live data will not work.

Please take a look at the following thread:

Trying to create live dashboard with streaming data and publish this dashboard to web

Take a try with Embedding the Dashboard:
