Dashboard from Power BI into your application - Question

[aoliver]

Hello everyone,

Im following the next tutorial of Guy In a Cube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSAHwE21Buk

I am wondering if my idea its possible to perform:

In my app, using C#, I open a word template which contains the typical information of a standard report. I want to insert in mid of that template, specific images (yes, I want static images of the visuals of my dashboard) for example a chart.

In the tutorial, only appers the complete dashboard, so:

- It is possible to "drilldrought" in the report and create an object (in c# I mean) of a specific visual?

- Can be used, the previous object, inside a opened word document?

I'm sorry if I haven't explained myself well.

So, any ideas?

Please, feel free to ask anything.

Thanks for all 🙂

@aoliver ,

I'm afraid I haven't found any resource about insert image to report from dashboard using C#. Why not create an image tile directly in power bi dashboard?

Thanks for your answer,

I dont wanna that, sorry if I explained in a confused way.

I want to read a visual from my dashboard using API and C# and save it as an picture object (png) to use it later in a word or pdf 

Cheers

@aoliver ,

I'm afraid there's no such kind of API which can let user save visual as .png/.jpg file. This feature is also not supported in power bi service, you may submit an idea here to help improve power bi.
