I cannot retrieve data from PowerBi Integration after reopening PowerApps - powerbi

I have launched a PowerApps from PowerBi and after saving I cannot see the same data in the PowerApps Editor and PowerBi. At the beginning I could see data in both. I refreshed PowerBi report. Any idea? Pictures below:

You will have to refresh your cache for powerapps.
I usually save my powerapps (Editor) close the browser and open it again. Once you do that you shall see your refreshed data.
You could also user ctrl+F5 to refresh cache.
If you are running the app in the browser then you need to clear out
the browser cache or simply by hard refreshing your browser by
pressing CTRL and F5 you can force PowerApp to reload data.
If you are running App in PowerApp from your mobile, IPad or Tablet
you need to open the PowerApp mobile application, Click on three lines
menu from the left top corner, click on 'clear cache' menu and click
on 'Confirm' button.
That will clear out the cache for the app.

How to prevent redirect to report when click on dashbaord tile via power bi workspace app?

I have report and couple of tiles are pinned to dashboard.
I have edited the dashboard tile hyperlink to prevent the redirection to the report (using #). This prevents redirection to report when the dashbaord tile is clicked. This works fine when dashbaord is opened via the dashboard url.
However when I am on the same dashbaord via the power bi app, then on click of tile redirects me to original dashboard page outside of the app. How can I prevent the clicking of tile on dashboard in an app?

Power BI reports don't automatically refresh

I have a Power BI report that sources from an Excel file on my laptop. The visualizations are in Import / Scheduled Refresh mode (to be clear, not DirectQuery / Live Connection mode). I am using the gateway in 'On-premises data gateway (personal mode)' to refresh my dataset in the service. To my surprise, after refreshing the dataset, the corresponding charts in the report do not update automatically. They only update after I click on 'Refresh' in the report itself. This goes against the claim that the reports should be updated automatically, as documented here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-data
How can I make the report update automatically after a dataset refresh? Requiring my consumers to manually click on 'Refresh' is unacceptable.
The data should update automatically. I'm guessing what's happening is that the report you were viewing was cached in your browser to some extent.
Try opening in a different browser or incognito instead of hitting 'Refresh' to confirm.
In the same browser, you can also open the DevTools and clear the site data as I've shown in the screenshot attached. this should clear the cache and reload the page with the updated data

Need to click on a widget to give it focus in Power BI Embedded

I have a Power BI embedded report, embedded in my web app.
While the report is working as expected I find that I need to click on a widget within the report before being able to click on the items within the widget.
So for example I have a slicer containing a list of names. When I first click on the slicer, it selects the slicer but does not drop down the list of names, the next click allows me to see the list of names.
Is there anything I can do to change this behaviour, such that the first click on the slicer shows the list of names available.
It seems this is caused by me requesting the report in mobile view. Switching to desktop view stop the second click issue.
I had chosen mobile view, as this view allowed the UI to switch between views (landscape/portrait) dynamically without having to reload the report. In desktop view if the user resizes the browser page, the report shrinks shrinks rather than switch between views.

How to Redirect Powerbi click to a new web page

How can I redirect a certain click onto the powerbi visualizations to a certain web page, let say I want to redirect a embedded report click onto a certain webpage how can I do that, does this kind of visualization possible in Powerbi if yes then How??
At the moment, this is not supported in Power BI.
The only types of links available right now are Back and Bookmark.
There's a feature request for that in the Power BI Ideas site, which you can vote for.
I know this is an old thread, but if you are using Power BI Embedded reports, you can use the PowerBI-Javascript to catch events from the tiles or reports and do some action like redirecting the user to a specific link.
var element = document.getElementById('reportContainer');
var report = powerbi.get(element);
report.on('dataSelected', function(event)
{
console.log(event.detail.dataPoints[0].identity[0].equals);
});
Not sure if this was available at the time, but my solution to this was creating a button that overlays the visualization. You can set the button background to transparent, then assign a fill for "hover" so that it's obvious that it's clickable. Then just set the web address as the action for the button.

Is it possible to deploy or extract a power view report from Excel to Sharepoint

I created some very nifty Power View reports in excel, however I would like to view the reports from sharepoint without opening excel first (as if the power view was created entirely from sharepoint without Excel).
The most valable solution I could think of was to start over with new reports in Sharepoint and recreate the whole thing in browser. I do hope there is a better way to achieve this.
Is there a solution to extract the power view reports and publish them to Sharepoint? Any help is appreciated!
If it matters, I am site administrator for the sharepoint environment.
This is the result I would like to have:
This is from the bi demo script at https://www.microsoftofficedemos.com/
To publish the Power View Report to SharePoint.
In Excel, on the File tab, click Save As.
In the Save As window, under Places, click SharePoint, and then click Browse.
In the Save As dialog, click Browser View Options.
In Browser View Options, click Sheets in drop down.
In list of sheets, click the sheet that contains your Power View report, and then click OK.
In Save As dialog, navigate to the Reports Gallery, if not selected by default.
Click Save to upload the workbook from Excel to SharePoint report gallery.
EDIT: Unfortunately you can't extract the power view per this info, office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/…. There's a suggestion on Connect that you can vote on to add this feature in future versions
