I was wondering if it is possible to connect the Oracle Apex's data tables in Microsoft Power BI.
Please note that these tables are the ones used in backend of web applications developed and hosted on Oracle Apex website/cloud https://apex.oracle.com (=NOT on-premises).
Oracle does not provide database connection information for the database used for https://apex.oracle.com. You can create REST APIs exposing information in the tables and use that information.

I haven't worked with Power BI's paginated reports but I'm trying to migrate from SQL Server to Azure SQL. Getting Power BI per-user licenses just for users to be able to generate a report PDF is prohibitively expensive for us.
Is it possible to use Power BI service API in a similar way to SSRS Report Server where you just make a request to generate the report and return the result?
We don't need to embed the paginated reports... just call the service API with the specified params and return the generated report (like SSRS Report Server).
Really hoping to use a single Premium license for the Azure Active Directory App Service registration to avoid needing to have a per-user license for every user that just needs to click a button and generate an invoice.
Essentially this, but with Power BI Paginated Reports: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/export-a-report-using-url-access?view=sql-server-ver16
I'm asking just to see if I'm wasting my time by digging further into this. Thanks in advance!
Background: Used Azure Workbook to create dashboard visualization for multi-tenancy scenarios. However, the visualization part is not that robust in Azure Workbook. So thinking of using Power BI.
Questions:
I just wanted to check with all the Azure Log Analytics practitioner here in regards to how they implement/ integrate Power BI with Azure Log Analytics in a multi-tenancy scenario?
What I know so far about PowerBI Integration with Azure Log Analytics:
At the moment it only support Exporting log search query into PowerBI using "Blank Query".
No native integration/ connection between the two
Thank You!
I thin you can use the Azure Data Explorer connector to query from Log Analytics since they are both effectively Kusto databases

I'm new at the Power BI.
I created dashboard on Power BI and I have published to the web
when opening the dashboard on custom URL I need to export the dashboard to excel report
can I do this in Power BI or not
I new I can to do this in Power BI web APP but I need do that in my dashboard URL
thank you
This "custom URL" that you mention makes me think that you used Publish to web. One of the limitations of this feature is that you can't export the data:
Reports using row level security.
Reports using any Live Connection data source, including Analysis Services Tabular hosted on-premises, Analysis Services Multidimensional, and Azure Analysis Services.
Reports shared to you directly or through an organizational content pack.
Reports in a group in which you are not an edit member.
"R" Visuals are not currently supported in Publish to web reports.
Exporting Data from visuals in a report, which has been published to the web.
ArcGIS Maps for Power BI visuals.
Reports containing report-level DAX measures.
Single sign-on data query models.
Secure confidential or proprietary information.
The automatic authentication capability provided with the Embed option doesn't work with the Power BI JavaScript API. For the Power BI JavaScript API, use the user owns data approach to embedding.
You can vote for this feature though.
We develop a windows application that gets deployed with a SQL Server database to client's sites. On the site they may use SQL Server Express or a better version, depending upon their data needs, most would have Express.
We would like to embed and distribute Power BI files (pbix) in to our application. The Power BI files would connect to the client's own instance of SQL Server to obtain the data. Is this possible? If so, how do we go about doing this?
Very possible to do.
Embedding Power BI reports requires either Power BI Report Server (an enhanced SSRS) or Power BI Portal services. The report is embedded in an IFRAME or other embedded web browser. (They are HTML, CSS and JavaScript.)
Licensing will be a consideration for your project. While the Power BI Desktop client is free, the Power BI Report Server and the hosting of reports from the cloud are not. The users who publish the reports will need a Power BI Pro subscription. If you are looking for a free or inexpensive embedded report solution, this is not it.

Where is PowerBI being hosted. If I make a power BI report and provide a link to the report or dashboard. where is that link being referenced from?
From our Azure DB?
Is it possible to have power bi hosted in a VM? So that the links I provide to the report are directly from and referenced from the VM?
Thanks.
Power BI is currently cloud hosted by Microsoft, but it will be integrated into SSRS, so it can be hosted in-house. For details follow the SQL Server Team blog from Microsoft.
The January Blog Post announces the technical preview for download.
Picking up on your Azure DB comment, Power BI is independent from the data sources. If you were to host Power BI in-house you would have to set your Azure DB firewall to allow access from that server. Alternatively you might also migrate the database in-house as well.
