Adding Microsoft Power BI to an Office 365 SharePoint Web Page

Microsoft Power BI is a powerful reporting tool for providing dashboards and analytics. This business analytics service, which is offered with Office 365, transforms data into stunning visuals that facilitate fast, informed decision-making, the kind you need to make your construction project a success.

One really cool thing you can do with Power BI is embed your report into Office 365 SharePoint online so that you can share it with your team members. Here are the steps to do this. Publish your report from Power Bi to Office 365. Log into the Power BI app from the Office 365 portal and click on your report from My Workspace.

4. Navigate to Office 365 SharePoint Online and create a page (modern Page) that you want to share with your team.

5. Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the page to add a web part.

6. Scroll the available web parts and select Power BI. A new Power BI web part will be added to the page.

7. Click “add report.”

8. Paste the Power BI report link you copied earlier (Step 3) into the Power BI report link.
