How can Power BI display/embed an .aspx page which is on our Sharepoint site?

[dancarr22]

Hello,

Is there a way PBI can display/embed an .aspx page which is on our Sharepoint site?  We are trying to do this via the Power BI application but it doesn't work well - so seeing if we can use Power BI to just display/embed the page.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi @dancarr22 ,

You can try the following:

The most straigt forward way to embed an external web page in Power BI is a Power BI app. External content is called "link" in the Power BI app and it can open in a new tab, the same tab (replacing the Power BI app) or in the content area of the app (which is probably what you want).

To make this work, both involved services, the page-providing server and the Power BI app, need to be confired accordingly.

The page-providing server needs accept embed requests from iframes. Here is a post how to do this for SharePoint pages (you need appropriate administrative privileges in SharePoint): office 365 - Display SharePoint Online in an iframe on different domain - SharePoint Stack Exchange For SharePoint library files, the corresponding app can generate an embed link, e.g., Word web-app for a Word file or Stream for a video file.

Then in the Power BI app configuration you need to add a link as shown above.

If you want to embed external content on a report page, you can try HTML custom visual. For this you need to add this custom visual and create iframe HTML code for the external content, e.g., as a measure. Of course, the page-providing server needs to accept this request in this approach as well, which is a configuration at that web-server, not in Power BI.

Kind regards,

Martin

Seems like this is not possible.  Even if you add embed tags to a Sharepoint page it doesn't work.  Would help if Microsoft added this functionality.

Thanks @christinepayton - appreciate your response.  Unfortunately, we'd need to display in PBI - actualy trying to leverage PBI app.  We'll keep digging for a solution - maybe try PowerApps.

Pretty sure it's not possible to embed aspx in PBI, but you can embed PBI in SharePoint so you might opt to go the other direction?
