Introduction

Power BI is a business analytics service by Microsoft. It aims to provide interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end-users to create reports and dashboards. It is part of the Microsoft Power Platform.  In this guide, you will quickly learn how to create a Power Bi widget under your Yodeck account.

Creating a Power Bi widget

Click on the Power Bi widget within your widget gallery to add it, or click this link to quickly create a new one and fill in the widget details as follows:

1. A Name is required for the widget and an optional Description for it.
2. Click the “Login with Microsoft” and authenticate to log in to your PowerBi account.
3. In the Enter URL field, paste the URL of the desired graph from your PowerBi account. 
   • 💡Don’t know which URL you need to type? Check the “Which URL do I need to paste?” section below.
4. Choose the Refresh Interval of your graph (the default rate is 30 minutes).
5. Choose to display or not the report’s page on the bottom of the screen.
6. Set the Default Duration so that the widget will appear in a playlist.
7. You can set the Play From/Play Until parameters. In other words, you can select the expiration date, which means you can choose the exact date and time that this widget will play in your playlist.
   • 💡We recommend selecting the “Always” and “Forever” settings for the widget to never expire.
8. Click “Save,” and your widget is ready to use.

Power Bi’s Final result

Which URL do I need to paste?

Login to your Power Bi account, go to the Dashboard or the Report you like to display and copy the link directly from the address bar. Paste that link to the aforementioned “Enter URL” field.
If you have a dashboard with multiple reports and you want to display all of them, one after the other, then copy the dashboard’s URL. Otherwise, copy the URL of a specific report of yours.
