Embedding a Specific Report Section tab via IFrame

wpatton — Tue, 03 May 2016 20:47:25 GMT

We are integrating a Power BI report into our web site via the instructions at https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-integrate-a-power-bi-tile-or-report. The issue is that we have not been able to specify a specific section/tab to display in the IFrame. As an example, we tried appending "/ReportSection2" to the IFrame embed URL but that didn't work. We also tried appending "&ReportSection=2" and "&Section=2" to the embed URL but that didn't work either.

When a report has more than 1 section (i.e. more than 1 tab at the bottom of the report), is it possible to specify that a specific section be displayed in the IFrame?

Hello,

I know, this is a late answer, but can be usefull. The paramater to use is "pageName=The_Name_Of_Your_Section"

Best regards,

I agree with @Gokul that as is the parameter does not work if you use the friendly name of the report tab.

However, the trick that does work for me is to use the ID of the report tab as seen in the report's URL. E.g. take everything after the last slash in your report with your tab selected and use that as your param value:

https://.../reports/bb3c2a80-a5f5-4f50-aed2-f11582491d1c/ReportSection7c66c7f9d0925796658d

Building on the orignal answer from @auprevot and using this value, here is the new pageName parameter set to this report tab value.

hth 🙂
