Hi BI devs,
I'm building powerapps from powerbi , how can I update the report (which is embedded with a power app) back to BI desktop?
ps. I can't choose an existing powerapp to embed in BI desktop then publish it to BI. (it just can't detect the exsisting app from the environment, unless I need to build an app from zero.)
many thanks!

Hi @devsyw
I think you want to use Power Apps visual in Power BI Desktop. Is your issue that you couldn't find and use exsisting app in Choose App. Please check the account you login in Power BI Desktop. Make sure this account is correct and it has access to Power Apps you have created.
Here is the offical blog about Power Apps visual for Power BI. I hope it could help you.
Best Regards,
Rico Zhou

Hi @Anonymous
Thanks for the info, however, I was already login BI desktop with A environment, and have published the report to an workspace under the same A environment. It doesn't work to embed existing app from BI desktop!
And in order to workaround, I would like to export BI service with embedded powerapps , and import to BI desktop, it doesn't work either!
SO the question is: HOW can I export then import it to BI desktop?? looks like the embedded powerapps visual can't be imported to BI desktop either! If there is any workaround, please let me know, many thanks!!!
regards,
