Do power BI supports the alerts facility for end users?
We have embedded reports on our portal and from there our individual customers are getting insights. Now few of them requesting an alert for their items when it reaches to certain quantity. I am aware of dashboard alerts but not sure how would it work for embedded reports. Power BI services offer alert facility for dashboards but how can one individual set up the same alerts from the portal instead of power BI service. Or should we use different approach to set up an alert?
As far as I know, this is a major limitation of power bi embedded. You likely need to build a custom function outside of power bi to accomplish this
I'm trying to have multiples reports with same dataset in a single workspace with Power BI.
I know i have to use "Power BI dataset" in Power BI Desktop.
But everytime i publish, it create a direct query new dataset instead of use the precedent one.
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help !
In the Power BI Service, you can click on the ellipsis of the dataset and Create report.
I am just starting out with Power BI. So far it has been easy to learn. My goal is to create a dashboard like this:
https://dc-js.github.io/dc.js/
I am just wondering if someone knows an interactive power bi sample like this. Is it even possible to create such reports in power BI?
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible to create dashboards like this. See for example Power BI Embedded Playground or Microsoft Sales & Returns report (download or view in browser):
We want to customize our Power BI Embedded Reports to create our own style/visuals.
Here is an example from how it currently looks from inside Power BI:
Here we can only change data color for the graph line. We however, want to add a gradient to this specific line, like this:
We have found that the options to customize styles other than from the Power BI dashboard is limited. Is there any way we could modify the json or any other way achieve customization?
You can try using custom visuals:

It doesn't seem possible to connect Power BI Desktop to Insightly although there's a content pack for Power BI Service.
Is there a workaround, if we need to build a data model and/or add calculated measures? E.g. use the content pack for the service and then connect Desktop to Power BI service?
Or any better suggestion? Thank you for helping with this!
You could always connect by finding the URL being passed in the Power BI service and use that as a Web data source from Power BI desktop. That way you'd be able to create your data model.
There are additional details here which guide you through the insightly portal.
