Naviguation between sheets in embedded powerBI dashboard

Hi,

 

I have a dashboard with 8 sheets with names. it works fine with powerBI desktop and with power BI online.

Unfortunatelly, this is not the same behavior with powerBI embedded dashboard (when I publish the dashboard through an iframe). Instead of having the names of the sheets, I only have the number of pages and arrows to naviguate. example "<< page 1 of 9 >>". See screenshot :

My dashboard is not usable without sheets names. Is-it possible to customize the iframe to be able to have the names instead of page number ?

 

Thanks,

Romain.

Hi @rnio,

Based on my test, you can start to change page number by using the following steps.

1. Right click page number in the bottom bar and then select “Inspect”, you will see the code for the page number. There is an example for your reference.

2. Directly change the page number in the code to your sheet name.

Hi @ankitpatira, @Anonymous,

 

Thanks for your answer.

 

Unfortunately Lydia, I think @ankitpatira is right, this is currently not possible to edit iframe to have sheet names. Your solution works locally but cannot be persistant for other users. The code that you edit is an automated code, generated by the iframe.

Hi @rnio,

Yes, it is just a temporary solution. And you are able to view the changed page number in current publish to web link.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Not sure to understand. 

 

I generated the iframe HTML code on powerBI by selecting "publish to the web". the code looks like :

<iframe width="800" height="600" src="https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=XXX" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

 

Unless modifing the code below, it's not possible to edit the HTML you mentionned before, because this HTML is auto-generated by the Iframe. If you edit the HTML with google chrome inspector, a refresh of the page (or a loading from a different computer) will erase all your local modifcations.


Do I miss something ?

 

Regards,

Romain NIO.

Hi @rnio,


Agree with you. I mean that it only works in the current page, once you refresh it, the modification will be reset, and it is not possible to edit the HTML involved in iframe.

Thanks,

@rnio If you're referring to Publish to Web feature and link then yes that is the case currently. You can submit that under Ideas or Issue section
