Step 1 - Embed a Power BI report into a canvas app
I dont know about you, but it took me a while to figure out why I couldnt add my report into a Power BI tile in a canvas app. I knew I did it before, but of course didnt blog about it, so I forgot (lol)
It’s actually really easy, and doesnt require you to reupload your pbix, add to tiles or others.
- Go to your Power BI workspace that holds your report
- Open the report
- Go to export
- Click on embed in website
- Copy the URL
- Go to your canvas app
- Add in or use an exisiting Power BI Tile
- In the TileURL, paste your embedded link between the ""

You may notice it grabs your navigation and filter. Here’s how to hide them:
Step 2 - How to hide the navigation and filter
- Go back to your TileURL property
- At the end of the url, add the following code:
&navContentPaneEnabled=false&filterPaneEnabled=false
The & sign specifies a new parameter, in this case we want to disable the navcontentpane, and the filterpane. We set both to false, and now they don’t appear anymore!
