Power BI embedded - is it possible to auto-create report?
Hi Team,
I can't find auto-create report option in PowerBI embedded analytics docs. I see there is a way to create a blank report, also to auto-generate new dataset and report based on user provided data.
But the thing I am looking for is auto-creating a report based on existing dataset.
Can you please confirm if it's currently not available? If so, are there any plans to add this option in the future?
Thanks,
Lucas
Hi Lucas9393,
I check the document of auto create report but not found any related documents of embeded reports. So I suppose current it not work on power bi embeded reports.

HI Lucas9393,
I'd like to suggest you try to use power bi rest API to do these operations:
- Get a dataset ID and the embed URL from the Get datasets in Group API.($expand query parameter 'createReportEmbedURL')
- Generate an embed token with access to the dataset and the correspond permissions.
- Use the 'powerbi.createReport' method with the above embed token, the embed URL, and the dataset ID to create a new report.

Hey Anonymous, thanks for your response.
The thing is, I am already doing those steps and I am able to successfully create blank report.
What I am looking for is an option to 'auto-create' new report based on existing dataset. This option is available in power bi web application, but I am not able to find if it's doable for power bi embedded
