Power BI Integration

Power BI is a business analytics service provided by Microsoft that enables users to create visualizations and reports to gain insights from data. It can be integrated with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to extend its functionality and enable users to access their reports and data from a single location.

Syntax

Power BI Integration with SSRS has the following syntax:

= Power BI Integration Function(arguments)

Example

The following example shows how to integrate Power BI with SSRS:

1. Install the Power BI Desktop application on your machine.
2. Create a data model in Power BI Desktop and publish it to the Power BI service.
3. Create a report in SSRS with a dataset that points to the same data source as your Power BI report.
4. Insert a Power BI report control into the SSRS report.
5. Set the URL property of the Power BI report control to the URL of the Power BI report in the Power BI service.
6. Preview the SSRS report to see the integrated Power BI report.

Output

The output of Power BI Integration with SSRS is a single integrated report that combines the data and visualizations from the two services into a single view.

Explanation

Power BI Integration with SSRS allows users to access both their SSRS reports and their Power BI reports from a single location, providing a more cohesive and comprehensive view of their data. By embedding a Power BI report control into an SSRS report and setting its URL property to the URL of a Power BI report, users can seamlessly navigate between the two services without having to switch between applications.

Use

Power BI Integration with SSRS is used to extend the functionality of both services and provide users with a more comprehensive view of their data. It is particularly useful for users who regularly use both Power BI and SSRS and want to access all their reports and data from a single location.

Important Points

• Users must have a Power BI account and the necessary permissions to access the Power BI report in order to integrate it with an SSRS report.
• The data source for the Power BI report and the SSRS report must be the same in order for the integration to work properly.
• Users can control the size and placement of the Power BI report control in the SSRS report using the standard properties of SSRS controls.

Summary

Power BI Integration with SSRS enables users to access both their Power BI reports and their SSRS reports from a single location, providing a more comprehensive view of their data. It can be accomplished by embedding a Power BI report control into an SSRS report and setting its URL property to the URL of a Power BI report. The integration is particularly useful for users who regularly use both services and want to access all their reports and data from a single location.
