    Hi louisquinet ,

    To embed a report on SharePoint Online, it is necessary to publish the report to Power BI Service first. Hence, you cannot find the option of Embed Report in Power BI Dekstop.

     

    Basically, the Power BI Report you want to embed has to be hosted somewhere. A Power BI Desktop file is just a local file on your system, hence it cannot be embedded and has to be published first on Power BI Service.

      Thank you very much for your answer.

      Is it also possible to create a report on Power BI Service, so that it is hosted there and then edit it with Power BI Desktop? And if yes, how do I do this 🙂
      Thank you!

        Hi louisquinet ，

        The general workflow is to create reports in Power BI Desktop and then publish them to Service to share with other users.
        Publish from Power BI Desktop

         

        If you want to make some simple edits to a published report, you can open the report and click the Edit button. Some more complex changes need to be edited on Desktop and republish to Service.
