How to Embed Power BI Reports in Business Central

Integrating Power BI reports into your Business Central can significantly enhance your business intelligence capabilities, providing you with insightful, real-time data visualizations right where you need them. Here’s a simple guide on how you can achieve this seamlessly:

Step 1: Log in to Business Central
Begin by logging into your Business Central account. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to modify and integrate Power BI reports. Once logged in, find your way to the Power BI section within Business Central. This area is dedicated to your data visualization needs and is where you'll link your Power BI reports.

Step 2: Accessing Services
Look for the three dots (more options) in the Power BI section, and click on them. Then, choose 'Services' to proceed. This will direct you to where you can add new services, including Power BI reports.

Step 3: Install the Power BI Report App
In the services menu, search for the Power BI report app. Once found, click on 'Get it now' followed by 'Install'. This action will integrate the Power BI reporting service with your Business Central.

Step 4: Verification
Post-installation, the new Power BI app should be visible. Click on the report to verify its functionality. Ensuring it works correctly is crucial before you proceed with embedding it on your landing page.

Step 5: Embedding the Report
Return to the Business Central landing page and select the report you wish to embed. Then, click on 'Edit list' and enable the new report. This step is vital as it allows the report to be visible and accessible from your main dashboard.

Now, navigate to your BC landing page to view your newly embedded Power BI report. You should see it functioning smoothly, providing you with the insights you need directly on your dashboard. Hooray!

This is very good and very easy. However, is there a way to make the PowerBi tile full width of the page rather than only half?
