This video walks you through how to add Power BI visuals in Power Apps canvas and to make the visual refresh automatically when the data is created, read, updated & deleted (CRUD).
Hey Chuck! What an honor to have you compliment on my video 😀. The Power BI connector is going to make the integration with Power Apps Canvas so much easier.
This is great ! Thanks. Two things wish to get some answers: (1) So does the max 8 times refresh per day still apply under this method ? (2) Do you know if we can do the same but in PBI with powerapp inside PBI report to do CRUD then refresh the PBI report in PBI service ?
Hey R Chong, 1) The max 8 times does not apply here. You can refresh as many times as you need. 2) Yes, you can as long as your app has the Power BI Integration connection in it.
@@DanielChristian19 i have tried this method but i can only refresh 8 times a day or 48 using premium. I have a excel that is in sharepoint and connected to my powerapps and powerbi. How can i make them refresh many times as i want? Thank you in advance
Hello thanks for the video. Will this work if you embed a report and not a dashboard? if your report is built in top of a dataset that takes 10 minutes to refresh then by default the embedded report will take the same to refresh
Hi Daniel, Is it possible to pass parameters to the PowerBI visual. e.g, I want the report to be filtered based on who is using the App (i.e based on the user who is logged-in)? Also, is there any documentation or blog on this new PowerBI connector? Thanks a lot.
Yes, absolutely. You can use the user() function to get the login user info and add it to the URL filter. Here is the doc for it. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-url-filters
Hello, Great Video!!! Some questions: 1. Does it work with Share Point lists? 2. Does it work, in PowerApps for Teams with Teams Dataverse (I didn't find there information about environment URS and Data Base Version)? 3. Does it work when there is an import mode from PowerApps to PowerBI (There was direct query mode on your PBI)?
Hi Filip, It will not work with SharePoint lists because we cannot make a Direct Query access to Power BI. Import mode does not work either. This will work with Teams Dataverse as long as you have the settings configured
@@DanielChristian19 Thank you for your response. MS Power Platform is great, but unfotunatelly refreshing data across the tools is not properly addresed. When you compare how it works for example in case of Google Data Studio and Google Sheets, where you've got updated data immidiately after clicking refresh button, it is clear that MS has here some work to do.
Hi Daniel! I am trying to use Power Apps in Power BI, but the power apps visual keeps refreshing when I change report pages. Do you have any workarounds for this?
Hi Daniel, This is Santhosh, I have an Implemented same in my project but, the user requirements are after clicking a button the dataset should get refreshed successfully. But user doesn't know it is completed or not or whether it is in progress or not. So, how we can implement that "Status" inside the power apps or can we do something. If you have time could you please make a video for that and eagerly I am waiting for that video. Thanks, Santhosh.
Oh, but when I used refresh data set in power automate which was being triggered through powerapps on a button click, gave me error regarding the limit. I hope then it is limited to power automate 🤔🤔🤔🤔
