Deploy embedded PowerBI report on Main form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Anureet Singh 5

Hi Community,

We have created PowerBI report that is embedded on a main form of Model driven app. This report is contextually filtered based on the record it is opened from. 
We have followed this MS doc to embed(this involves editing the customization.xml file to add parameters like reportID , groupId, filter,titleUrl): 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/model-driven-apps/embed-powerbi-report-in-system-form#embed-with-contextual-filtering

We have three different workspace setup DEV -> UAT -> PROD hence the reportId and groupId and other parameters differ for each workspace.

PAINPOINT :Each time when the form containing the embedded PowerBI report has to be promoted to higher environment in dynamics , these report parameters have to be edited in customisation.xml as per the environment it is getting promoted to. 
Is there a cleaner approach to handle this situation?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Anureet,

    You can follow below steps.

    1. configure any values in formxml (customization.xml)
    2. store environment specific details [PowerBiGroupId,ReportID and TileUrl in a reference table / environment variable
    3. on load of form write the js to override the values with values stored in step 2

    //unfilteredreport is the name of PBI report control
formContext.getControl("unfilteredreport").controlDescriptor.Parameters["PowerBIGroupId"]="28fd43c-b901-4629-b3dd-923a783863ef";
formContext.getControl("unfilteredreport").controlDescriptor.Parameters["PowerBIReportId"]="da4730ef-da58-48ce-bcd4-4ea4ef45307d";
formContext.getControl("unfilteredreport").controlDescriptor.Parameters["TileUrl"]="https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=da4730ef-da58-48ce-bcd4-4ea4ef45307d";
formContext.getControl("unfilteredreport").setVisible(true);

    Note : hide the report control by default on the form and show only after setting environment specific values

    Thanks,

    Ketan
