Hi HarRuc,

 

As connecting to Amazon Redshift is just a Preview feature in Power BI Desktop, I don't think it is supported for Power BI Embed currently. Here is a similar thread for your reference.

This solution is still needed. The Redshift connector was announced here:

https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-connect-redshift/
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/building-power-bi-reports-on-top-of-amazon-redshift-data/

 

This last article, dated Aug 1 2016, said the Redshift connector doesn't yet work for "Power BI Gateway or PowerBI.com for refresh scenarios, which will come in the next couple of months."

 

These threads have essentially the same issue:

It's been six months since "a couple of months" was promised. Any news? This is a big issue for my application, where I need to do scheduled refreshing in the PBI service, just like any other database.
