Passing Dynamic Data to Power BI Embedded

turbo — Sat, 08 Oct 2016 09:29:52 GMT

Hi Team,

I would like to use Power BI Embedded in my Web App. My web app allows users to design their own data structures and collect data into them (more like google forms). This means - I am dealing with dynamic json data

Can powerBI api help me do either of the following - Push my json data to the Power BI embedded and let the user create their own tiles and reports on Power BI. - Or i can parse through the json and generate Graphs on Power BI based on the datatypes in the JSON

Any ideas, code snippets, links will be great.

Regards

@turbo,

I'm afraid not. See https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Embed-Configuration-Details for what and how to embed.

thanks @v-chuncz-msft

Any idea if the embed URL i get from the API is dynamic for each call i make to the API.

If it is dynamic, then i can make multiple calls to get different embed URL and bind each call with different datasets.

I am probably pushing it too far now but i really want to use power BI 🙂

Regards

@turbo,

If that is the case, you may use JavaScript to change the URL of the document to embed in the iframe.

document.getElementById('myIFrame').src='https://...';
