I have set up two reports, source and target to test cross report drill through.
It works fine in the power bi service, but not when the report is being embedded (Apps own data).
Is this a limitation or am I missing anything?
Is there a workaround?
Not, it doesn't work. When you embed a report, you specify which report exactly to be embedded. The cross-report drill through will try to open another report (not the one, which is embedded), which isn't a problem in a browser or Power BI Desktop, but this will not work when embedding. You can try to combine both reports into one, on separate pages, as a workaround for this issue.
You can vote for this feature here - Enable cross-report drillthroughs for Power BI embedded.

I have 20 users all having the power bi pro license.
There is a requirement to be able to have the report printing ability so that all the contents of the report (for example header, charts, table) visual can be printed. The table should show all data when printed and not the image with scroll bar.
One solution is to use paginated reports using the report builder tool. But this requires the premium capacity or PPU license. I was thinking about an alternative to this and think that maybe I can use an excel report, connect to the power bi dataset, and publish the excel report to the power bi workspace and app.
When such a report is printed then it will retain the header, charts, table with entire table data.
So I want to ask - What is the practical difference between paginated report and an excel report?
While trying to embed a single visual from an embedded Power BI report, the page filters applied to the report is also coming along the Visual and I am not able to remove it using removeFilter function mentioned in Power BI playground. I tried like :
Take the visual from report and tried removing filter to the single visual.
Remove the filter from report (successful) and get the Single Visual.
In both cases, Visuals are displayed with Filter.
Could anyone please help me out?
Dashboard are basically for presentation purpose. First you will generate your desired output for a visual in the report using - Slicing, Filtering and drilling down. Once your visual is showing your expected output, you can then PIN your visual to your target dashboard. Remember, once you pinned a visual to a dashboard, you can not change it any more in the dashboard. If you need changes, you need to perform in in the report and then again pin your final output to the dashboard.
Lets go through some comment/explanation from different blogs and tutorials-
Tiles/visuals pinned to a dashboard are displayed based on the filters applied
to them via the filter pane OR via slicers OR via cross filtering at
the time of pinning in report.
Dashboards do not currently have filters that will allow filtering
across tiles/visuals.
A dashboard can contain charts from multiple reports. That’s why a
sliver doesn't make sense on a dashboard, because the slicer can't
filter all charts/datasets.
Whatever, I also found some comments as below, but I have not enough knowledge about the approach mentioned.
If you would like the ability to filter specific tiles on a dashboard,
pin live report pages
You can pin a whole report page as a live page, so that any changes
you make in that report page will be reflected in the live page you
pinned to your dashboard.

I have created a streaming+push dataset in power BI. And i push the data through the rest apis. I can see the dashboard in power BI getting updated with the latest data. But the embedded report in my website doesn't seem to update.
How can we achieve this? Is there any additional configuration required when embedding the report?
Power BI Reports hold a special property that does not allow them to refresh during viewing\editing. This is mainly to allow for presentations & editing, without having to worry about data changes.
However, one can refresh the report view in powerbi.com using the refresh button.
In Power BI Embedded, the developer can periodically call report.refresh() in the JS SDK to simulate the same action. Time intervals can be synchronized with the known realtime streaming times up to a limit.
I have a report (.pbix file) successfully deployed to Power BI Report Server and I want to connect it to a Shared Data Source I've created (as I always do when I deploy SSRS reports) independently, but I do not see any possibility to do that...
It seems like there is only option to use embedded data sources and configure them all separately for Power BI reports.
Is it true or I just haven't figure it out?
Data Source
Report
Unfortunately, no, it is not possible to connect a Power BI report to a shared data source like you're hoping. I had the same hopes, but I guess Microsoft hasn't gotten there yet.
See: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Shared-data-Source/m-p/175620/highlight/true#M76987
Although it is fairly straight forward with Power BI Service (PowerBI.com), it is not the case with Power BI Report Server, running on premise.
There is a feature request that remains 'declined' so far, on the Power BI Idea site.
This link should be helpful.
Shared data source connection (live to Tabular SSAS) for reports published on Power BI Report Server
I have no luck finding answers online, so I resorted to posting the question here. I just want to know if there is a way to export an entire dataset to Excel from a .pbix report in Power BI Desktop? The .pbix report is a dashboard that contains multiple tabs.
I am doing the same report but through Excel. Another group is tasked to use Power BI to come up with the same report, but the results differ. I wanted to be able to extract the dataset from Power BI for me to run a comparison and know where the discrepancy lies. This other group cannot provide me the raw data for professional reasons.
For a report published to Power BI online, you can choose the Analyze in Excel option.
I'm not sure if that can be done directly from the desktop app without publishing or not.
