    RE: Embed visualizations in an external webpage

    From what I am reading, it is not possible to disseminate Power BI dashboards on an external website. If so, this is very disappointing. MS should realise the purpose of changing data into information is to share it. If I am correct about this limitation, it is a fundamental design flaw in this wonderful Power BI product.

    This was the first thing i was looking for (after checking the UI). There is no web solution today that supports this kind of feature.

    I would even like to go as far as asking for a REST API.

    Pedram, this is critical for the whole ISV community.

    If you are actively working on this - shouldn´t the status change from Under Review to Planned or Started?

    Any timeplan that you can share?

    I am still not clear: Is Power BI embed in website built in feature or not? Possible or not ? Can we pass parameters? will filters work?

    This is an essential feature, if it's not available we'll have to switch to an alternative product

    This is a licensing challenge. Then only one PowerBI pro account for the dashboard creator is enough, and anybody without license can consume. We do need to share dashboards and reports to externals and can't expect them to have PowerBI. Then PowerBI will remain only a data discovery/analysis tool and not a publishing report tool

    Functionality to embed Dashboard(s) to external blogs / websites / webpages would be necessary for Power BI to succeed. I would prefer to buy a paid subscription from Microsoft then others already in the market, which offers similar services.

    RE: Embed visualizations in an external webpage

    We support this idea as we have several clients that would license Power BI Pro if embedding in an external site was possible.
