URL - Interactive web form

I am a tableau user and I am transitioning to Power BI. I have an interactive URL web form that I embed on my Tableau dashboards that pulls the URL web view right into my dashboard. I am struggling with finding a way to do this in Power BI. This is a critial issue for me. Wondering if anyone knows if this can be done?

 

Thanks

    Hi SBlaes-BJC 

     

    When you say 'interactive web form' do you mean sometgn that requires you to login to access some data?

     

    PBI doesn't have the capability of interacting with forms.  You'd need to use something like Power Automate to login and get the data.  Or look for an alternative approach like an API to the web site.

     

    Regards

    Thank you. Would I be able to add a hperlink button to a report page that could be selected and the user be directed to the URL?  Currently the web form has drop down menu's, date/time stamp and text boxes that are necessary to complete a processes and it is then it is saved to an SQL Server and I have a History page in my workbook that will connect with the SQL server to pull back what was entered on the URL. 

     

    Thank you for your help
