Trying to embed multiple (but not all) visuals from the same report (and other problems).

[BerkLee]

Hi, I'm trying to use the Power BI's Javascript API to put two or more Visuals from the same report into separate <div> tags in order to be able to customize them in HTML.  The thing is.  When I do it, the linkage between them breaks (that thing where filtering one visual affects the others). 

On demos and videos, I always either see the embedding of the one visual or the entire report, but never multiple (but not all) visuals from the same report all the while retaining its syncing/filtering.  Is there something I'm doing wrong?  Am I going about this the wrong way?

I've been suggested to use custom layouts, but that doesn't give me the ability to separate two visuals into two separate <div>s.  The main reason I want it like this is because I'm migrating QlikSense stuff into PowerBI and in Qlik, the Objects are linked in separate divs.  Does PBI not follow the same logic?

An insight on this would be nice.

HI @BerkLee,

Did you mean to create multiple embed contents and try to interact across different embed iframe? If that is the case, you can't do interaction across different iframes or split one report into multiple iframes.

Each iframe has its own configuration and corresponding tokens, the interaction is integrated internally so you can't customize them.
