When I show a Power Bi report in an iframe within my web app there's no Export functionality available. Is there a workaround for this?
Export of data and Print are two pieces of functionality that appear to not be supported by Embed or authenticating with Azure Active Directory.
The good thing about the PowerBI team is that they release updates to PowerBI online regularly so overnight it might just start working..
I suggest you vote on this on the ideas page so that it becomes prioritised.

We have a React app.
What I actually want to do is to send JSON to power-bi service, and on the basis of that json data, powerbi service should create a visual/graphical report for me.
I want this whole process to be automated
What I have done so far is-
I have created a push dataset using powerbi REST APIs mentioned in this doc.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/push-datasets/datasets-post-dataset-in-group
Additionally have created a table inside that dataset through this REST API in the following doc.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/push-datasets/datasets-post-rows-in-group#code-try-0
Now, what I want is to create a visual report/graph from this table inside this dataset.
There are APIs to clone an existing report.
There are APIs to update/delete a report.
But I could not find any APIs that can be used to create a report from JSON or from an existing dataset.

Additionally in regard to creating a report what i have found is just this page in the whole powerbi docs.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/javascript/api/overview/powerbi/create-edit-report-embed-view?tabs=embed-for-your-organization#how-to-create-a-report
This could be helpful as i also want to embed the created report in my React app at the end.
however I tried it in my react app, and couldn't make it work.
Is this even possible to create a powerbi visual report (not a paginated report) with the help of REST APIs, or they can only be created manually?
Please lead my way!
PowerBI Rest APIs are used to Manage PowerBI Content, Embed Power BI Content, Perform Admin operations.
Create a Report in Power BI Service:
Follow the documentation to create a report in Power BI service.
Please note that, Currently Power BI service only supports published dataset or pasting or manually entering data in a table. To connect to other resources, download Power BI desktop.
Create a Report in Power BI Embedded:
Power BI Embedded allows us to create, edit and save reports.
Please note that, a report can be created in powerbi-embedded only if we have an existing dataset. Refer to this documentation on how to create, edit and save reports in powerbi-embedded.

My client wants the power bi report in PDF format from website.
I don't find rest api to export report to Pdf.
can anyone help me to find solution to this? And please clarify me is this is possible from website?
Thanks in advance.
A public preview of this API is planned for February 2020.
Feature details
Developers will be able to provide their users with the option to export their data in PowerPoint, PDF, and JPEG formats in two main scenarios:
Interactive mode: End users interact with a report and export their own view of the data.
Non-interactive mode: Offline generation of snapshots distributed to different people in the organization.
The following capabilities will be supported:
Export report for both Power BI and non-Power BI users (SaaS and PaaS embed scenarios)
Export user context (the screenshot will include applied filters, cross filters, etc.)
Export including row-Level security (RLS)
Export a single page or entire report
I'm a newbie in Power BI..
I need to develop a tabular report (no visualizations) in Power BI and publish it to powerbi app so that client can see live reports.
For that what are the settings we have to do in app.powerbi or powerbi cloud?
When I published a report in my pbi cloud, in the report section, there is an option to publish /embed code. But it says the content will be available to public. So how can we restrict access? Do the client need to have pbi account to share the reports? Please let me know what type of PBI account we have to purchase to meet this requirement.
Also is it mandatory to create dashboard in order to share it to the client? Because report option serves the purpose? Is there any advantages in creating dashboard over reports?
Or do you feel any other suggestions rather than Power BI?
Data format: txt, tab delimited
Type of data: Medical records
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Power BI world has different things:
Power BI Desktop (PBID)- this is fat desktop client to create reports. You can use it for free.
Power BI Services (PBIS)- this is SaaS application that allows you create reports and share it. When you open powerbi.com you work with this app. All you reports located in logical containers - workspaces. This container like folder, nothing more. You can publish report from Desktop here into specific workspace. You can embed report from there, but without authentication, thus everyone can see it.
Power BI Embedded (PBIE)- this is PaaS solution to embedded reports into you app. Reports anyway should be stored into some workspace at PBIS. But you app can implement auth and show only specific reports to particular users. All users in you app can see different content and reports, based on your app logic, because you manage access to report via PBIE SDK. Take a look at playground.
So when your users work with PBIS they work with Microsoft Web App, if you want embedded same reports into you app, use PBIE with provided SDKs.
As for licenses. In fact there is only one license type: PRO.
If your users want publish and share reports using PBIS they ALL must have PRO licenses. That the point. You can use all products free unless you want share you reports and analysis. If you need to share you have to pay.
Different thing for PBIE. You implement your app as you wish, you manage you users. They should not have PRO licenses. In fact, you need one license to store you reports. I call this like service account. This is regular PBIS user with PRO license. You use it only for publishing reports and storing it at PBIS and you app use it to load and embedded reports. If you have 1000 users, you can buy 1 license and use it to publish you work and all users will be authenticated in you app, authorization also will be done in your app.
Another thing, that once you go in prod you need to buy capacity - Power BI Embedded Services at Azure. The cost depends on renders. Read more docs on this.
I am newbie to web technology ,so i am not able to get the steps for doing this.
I will have data fetched from data base and do some report generation and dashboarding in power BI.
I need to integrate the dashboards and reports on weekly basis to clients website.
Do i need to generate apis or some other alternatives?
There is the Publish to web option. You can copy either a url to your report or the html code you can then embed wherever you want. You can find Publish to web in the report menu. If it is not there, ask your global admin to activate it in settings.
As said in many reference link, in case of embedding the power bi to a application where we are going to build a secure website, we need to embed the Power BI report by publishing the power bi report to Azure Workspace right.
In that case , for registering the power bi report in Azure AD we followed the steps specified in the below link
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/power-bi-embedded-iframe/
While trying to import the .pbix file using REST API by using the POST request to api.powerbi.com, we were receiving 403 error. Hence we were not able to proceed further with the registeration/upload of PBIX file using Import API.
Also, for standalone or anonymous public embedding website we can go with Power BI Publish to Web option, using this we can get the embed code for the power bi report, which can be embedded into the web page. In case of standalone reports we can use this option to embed the power bi report on to our application, but since in our requirement we need to filter the data based on the user selection on the custom web page, we have to go with option 1 i.e. with publishing the report to AAD (Azure AD). Since we are facing authentication issue, we are unable to proceed with the process further.
Once the report is being publish we havethought of using either Power BI JavaScript or Angular JS API to pass the filter data from custom filter pane to the power BI as shown in the demo site.
