SharePoint web part prompting, "This isn't a valid report link.", when embedding Power BI report.

[emerson_danil]

I'm creating a SharePoint portal for my department. I have a Power BI report which I'm trying to embed into the SharePoint portal via the Power BI webpart. But when I paste the generated embed link from the report in SharePoint, it prompts the following message: "This isn't a valid report link."

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue. If I generate a report link from report -> manage permissions (for the entire organization because I don't want to manage permissions for each user) and then I try to paste that link in SharePoint I get the same error "This isn't a valid report link." The link is something like https://app.powerbi.com/links/xxx?ctid=xxx&pbi_source=linkShare, I even tried to remove the last part "pbi_source=linkShare" but it's not working.

Is there a workaround for this issue? How can you embed in SharePoint a report link accessible for the entire organization?

Thank you!

I think I figured it out. If you have a Microsoft fabric account then all of your links will start with "https://app.fabric.microsoft.com/" When I used this link I always got the error "this is not a valid report link.". However, if I pasted the original report link into my browser and replaced "app.fabric" with "app.powerbi" I was able to view the report in the browser with the "app.powerbi" URL. I then copied this URL and used it in SharePoint and it worked! 

Hopefully, this is helpful to others with the same issue.

I have the same issue. I haven't been able to make sense of what it means to use the "Bare URL" as described below. Has anyone found a solution?

It should also work with the bare report URL - so if you go to the first page of the report in the service and just copy that link from the address bar, it'll work (make sure it's the report link, not an app link). This is the way I usually use it anyhow. 🙂

This is how the link starts: "https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/rdlreports..."

I'm not sure if this is an app link or report link. What I do is, once the report opens and loads up, I click on 'File', click 'Embed' and copy the link.

Is there an alternative way for me to get the report link?
