My scenario:
This is an addition to my earlier blog, and with a few more parameters you can use. Credits go to https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Service/All-possible-Power-BI-Service-embed-URL-parameters/m-p/3053763 but I did want to share as well.
I’m struggeling to fit a canvas app with a powerbi tile that has an embedded report into a teams app (gotta love it) and my report wont fully fit. I’m trying to find the magic combo of these parameters.
How do I use these parameters?
Get the embedded URL from your report (Go to export, and copy the embed link)
You will see it already has 2 parameters in there. The parameter string starts with ?, followed by the parameter name and value. If you want to add another one, use the & sign.
Example: https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed ? reportId=REPORTIDHERE & autoAuth=true & ctid=IDHERE
See how I’ve split it up so you can see the parameters? It starts with the ? and uses the & to add new parameters to the string.
The parameters
These are the ones from the blog, if you know of any others please dont hesitate to let me know!
reportSection:
This parameter allows you to navigate to a specific report page by providing the page name.
Example: ?reportSection=ReportSectionName
filter:
You can apply filters directly within the URL to display only certain data when the report loads.
Example: ?filter=TableName/FieldName eq ‘value’
bookmark:
Navigate to a specific bookmark in the report by specifying the bookmark name.
Example: ?bookmark=BookmarkName

Similar to reportSection, it allows you to open a report to a specific page.

This parameter controls the view mode of the page, such as “FitToWidth” or “ActualSize.”
