I Want to have an environment where whenever a power-bi report (in .pbix format) is created or updated in a workspace in my power bi service, it will automatically be reflected in my sharepoint without any manual effort so that I can manage different versions of a report on organization level. Is there a way to achieve this automated connection between power bi service and sharepoint?
Tried to use sharepoint web-embedded option for pages but I guess it is not an option to make the connection automatic and requires multiple layers of manual effort for each page.
I am trying to connect to Dynatrace through its API in Power BI. There is a lot of documentation within Dynatrace and Power BI sites, but it isn't clear which is better suited to handle Live data. This post seemed on the same topic but also didn't address the subject of live data. Is the Power BI application you use arbitrary in this case?
In short, PBI Desktop.
Power BI Web Client is primarily for sharing, accessing, and editing previous Charts, Dashboards, Etc. There are ways to connect using the Online version, but the tool is a little less clunky on the Desktop even though the Online version seems streamlined.
Power BI Desktop can push Dash's, Reports, and other visualized Data to the Web Client. Power BI Desktop is the best for in-house access to Dynatrace's API for a live feed of data.
This question is generic and may have multiple answers. I've been in Power BI world for a few years and curious to know the technical differences between MSBI & Power BI. Both belong to Microsoft products and why they have a couple of Business Intelligence in their branch.
Power BI Consists of:
Power BI Desktop
Power BI Service
Report Server
MSBI Consists of:
SSRS - SQL Server Reporting Service
SSIS - SQL Server Integration Service
SSAS - SQL Server Analytic Service
So as it shows, the only common part in Power BI and MSBI is the reporting services. However, Data manipulation and modeling is far more superior in Power BI compared to in SSRS. Also Power BI uses an SSAS model behind the picture for whatever modeling capacities it provides.
Microsoft Business Inteligence (MSBI) include many things like ,SQL Server ,SQl Server Integration service(SSIS), SSRS, and SSAS as well.
So role and responsibilities are totally different of MSBI and Power BI.
MSBI developer expertise in (Export Transport and Load) ETL development ,Data warehousing and reporting as well but can't aspect same with Power BI developer.
Can any one help me to explain difference between power BI premium and power BI Embedded?
Power BI Embedded capacity (a.k.a. A SKUs) is billed hourly, can be purchased hourly, and can be paused – meaning no long-term commitments to a specific capacity. Power BI Premium (a.k.a. EM and P SKUs) are billed monthly, has annual commitment (i.e. you can't buy it for a month or two) and can't be paused. Premium also comes with more capacity workloads attached to it (like AI (Cognitive Services), Dataflows, and Paginated reports, etc., while Dataset workload is supported in all), most important with Premium readers doesn't need Pro licenses, while the corresponding Embedded SKUs (A4+) will not give you that:

In general, Power BI Premium is a SaaS (Software as a Service) product that allows users to consume content through mobile apps, internally developed apps, or at the Power BI portal. Power BI Embedded is for ISV(Independent Software Vendor)s who want to embed visuals into their applications. This is just basic understanding but coming to the real time business/organizational needs, one should know how they differ with the services they provide and billing/licensing part So, pls check out the below MS docs.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embedded-faq#:~:text=Power%20BI%20Premium%20is%20a,embed%20visuals%20into%20their%20applications.
Power BI Embedded is focused on getting users outside of your organization access to your data without giving them each a Power BI Pro license. This is generally done via the application you provide to them, allowing you to embed the dashboards you create into your application allowing for row level security and other features to be managed by the application and your developers.
Power BI Premium is more focused on giving people within your organization access to your reports without having to assign them all a Pro license. For the end users it works exactly the same as just having a standard license. In the backend you get dedicated processing capacity for your organization only which can be scaled up.
Please also note they are billed differently as Power BI Embedded is set up through the Azure Portal where as Premium is done through the Power BI Portal.
Power BI Premium is capacity geared toward enterprises who want a complete BI solution that provides a single view of its organization, partners, customers, and suppliers.
Power BI Embedded helps your customers make decisions because Power BI Embedded is for application developers, customers of that application can consume content stored on Power BI Embedded capacity, including anyone inside or outside the organization.

In simple manner, Power bi premium is service which provided by the power bi Microsoft and it has a great feature to play with in. on the other side power bi embedded is a feature of the power bi services which provide you to link with the browser or internet. correct me if i am wrong.
Power BI Premium is a SaaS (Software as a Service) product that allow to users to consume content through mobile applications, internally developed apps, or at the Power BI portal. Power BI Embedded is for ISVs who want to embed visuals into their applications.
We are working Power BI Reports and we are new in Power BI. For embed Power BI reports in our web application we want to choose Rest APIs.
Is it possible that we subscribe only one Power BI Pro account and publish our all reports and it could be available for all end-users with access token?
Technically that's possible, but I'm not sure if it's ok from licensing point of view.
I mean, Power BI Premium was released so that not all of the people in the organization should need Pro licenses. With Premium you're able to create and publish a report with a single Pro license and everybody else viewing the report can be Free-license users. The report might contain some Pro-freatures (like a gateway connection to on-premise) and it's still viewable to Free-users.
Premium isn't cheap, but it might work in some middle to large size organizations.
Another way to publish a report to multiple users is to use Publish to web -feature (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-publish-to-web/), but it's got some limitations and security related issues.
