Power Bi Service Embed improvements vs Power Bi Embeded

ngelotte — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 20:21:51 GMT

I am using the Power BI Service with Pro licenses to embed a report in an internal application. However, the Power Bi Service is missing a lot of the features of Power BI Embeded - filtering capabilities, hiding filters, hiding report tabs, interactivity between iframe and main application, etc. Is the Power BI Service embed capabilities going to be upgraded to have features similar to Power BI embeded? or is it going to be discontinued? It seems to be not getting any improvements but according to the docs it is the only legal option for internal applications.

@ngelotte: I have the same feeling, there are no enhancements happening in Power BI Service Embed side from a long time.

Somebody from Power BI Admin can add your inputs here.

I have been working with the Power Bi Service Embed and it can use the same javascript as Power BI Embedded as mentioned here

https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Embedding-Basics. It uses a different url and a user token but otherwise works the same. They still support the old way of embedding but for improved functionality you can use the power-bi javascript with the Power BI Service.
