QR codes and Embed reports

Hi ,

 

I have the following senerio . We would like to place a QR code in various blocks of appartments, so that the tenants can scan the code on their models and get navigated to a power bi report that is embeded into our companies web site.

Each appartment block will have its own QR code that will link to a report that is filtered by Address

 

I can generate he QR code that navigates to a filtered report. However how would I generate a QR code that navigate to the embeded report that is filtered by address?

 

thank you

Hi @cottrera ,

 

1.  Ensure that you have the Power BI report embedded in your website using Power BI Embedded or the Publish to web feature.

2. To filter the report by address, you can use URL filtering when embedding the report. This involves appending filter queries to the report URL.

3. Once you have the filtered report URL, you can use any QR code generator to create a QR code for each address.

 

Please note that if you are using Power BI Embedded, you will need to handle authentication to ensure that only authorized users can view the reports. If you are using Publish to web, be aware that the reports will be publicly accessible, which may not be suitable for sensitive data.
