Hi, Manideep1212
According to your description, you want to use Power BI to connect to MongoDB deployed on Azure VM and finally to Azure Power BI Embedded. you can try the following approaches.
1.Since direct connection between MongoDB on Azure VM and Power BI Embedded is not supported natively, the recommended approach is to synchronize MongoDB data to Azure Cosmos DB using Azure Data Factory.Azure Cosmos DB provides fully compatible MongoDB data with the MongoDB API.

3. After you create reports in Power BI Desktop, publish them to the Power BI Services workspace. To embed these reports into an application, follow the steps outlined in Embedding Power BI content into a customer's application.
