Embeding Power BI Report on Confluence
Hi Mohit16,
With your current setup using the HTML/iframe macro, integrating the Power BI JavaScript API is not straightforward. The JavaScript API needs a custom web application that can run scripts and handle authentication securely, such as with Azure AD or embed tokens. However, most Confluence on-premise environments restrict HTML macros from running external JavaScript, which blocks direct use of the API.
This means you can't dynamically control report behavior, like navigating to a specific page using pageName, within a standard iframe embed.
Instead, you might consider these alternatives:
Set the desired report page as the default in Power BI Desktop before publishing
Create a custom web application using Power BI Embedded and embed that into Confluence if possible
Look into Confluence plugins or macros that offer advanced embedding features
In conclusion, iframe embedding has limited control, while the JavaScript API is more flexible but needs a custom hosting solution outside of Confluence.
Thank you.
Thank you v-sgandrathi ,
The solution looks good. However, another question would be is there any option like we can use Power BI JavaScript API in Confluence? or where can i find tutorial for that?
Because currently the whole reporting is being done by /html(iframe), concern is would it be possible to use it? or There is another way around for this issue.
Thank you.
