3 years agoHi kg808 ,
Please check the limitations of Power App Visual, here are some limitations that may cause the problems you are experiencing :
- If you change the data fields associated with the visual, you must edit the app from within the Power BI service by selecting the ellipsis (...) and then selecting Edit. Otherwise, the changes won't be propagated to Power Apps, and the app will behave in unexpected ways.
- The Power Apps visual can't trigger a refresh of Power BI reports and Power BI data sources from within Power BI Desktop. If you write back data from the app to the same data source as the report, your changes won't be reflected immediately in Power BI Desktop. Changes are reflected on the next scheduled refresh.
- The Power Apps visual can't filter the data or send any data back to the report.
- You'll need to share the Power Apps app separately from your report. Learn about sharing apps in Power Apps.
- Power BI Report Server doesn't support the Power Apps visual.
- Following limitations apply when using the
PowerBIIntegration.Refresh()function:- You must create a new app from Power Apps visual in Power BI report for this function to be available in the app.
- You must use a source that supports DirectQuery and the data connection must be created using DirectQuery method.
