Embed Power BI tiles into PowerApps

[darogael]

This blog is an example of the latest feature which the PowerApps team announced on July 27th, 2017 i.e. the deep integration of Power BI with PowerApps. Now you can embed Power BI tiles into your PowerApp.

This new feature takes my existing App to the next level. Currently, I am able to use my app to request assets for new employees or upgrades for existing employees. All of this information is stored in three separate SharePoint lists. Using Power BI Desktop, I am able to create a report which shows me -
1. How many of the requests were laptops or desktops or tablets
2. A running count of all the manufactures
3. A running count of the models
4. A running count of the accessories.

Here is a screenshot of my of my Power BI Dashboards which includes the Demo3 that I built for this blog.

 

I then created a Dashboard where I have pinned the above four visualizations.

Now that I have the dashboard I am able to add that to my PowerApp. To get that accomplished I created two separate Screens in my PowerApps. In each screen I have added only two tiles using the new 'Power BI title' control as shown below.

The below two screenshots shows how the titles have been added in each screen

Screen 2

Here's a video which walks you through the steps of how the Power BI tiles were added to the Power App

Hello!

I have an issue with adding a power BI tile. I can add the tile and see that when running the application. But is there a way to update tile data, or to set refresh based on timer?

Only way I've been able to update the tile data is to close the application and open it again.
