Businesses thrive on data-driven decisions. Thankfully, tools like Microsoft Power BI empower you to create interactive reports and dashboards, unlocking valuable insights. But how do you share these insights effectively within your organization?
SharePoint Online, your collaborative hub, steps in here. By embedding Power BI reports directly into SharePoint, you can seamlessly integrate data visualizations into familiar team sites and intranet portals. This empowers stakeholders with real-time access to crucial information, right where they work.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

3. Embed in SharePoint Online:
- Head to your SharePoint site and the page where you want the report. Click “Edit” and add a new web part with the “+” icon.
- Search for and select the “Power BI” web part. Paste the copied embed code into the “Power BI report link” configuration.
