2. A few months ago, Microsoft announced an update for Power BI
which allowed us to use applications which are created using
PowerApps with Power Bi. It gives us lots of new possibilities to
work with Power BI. The biggest advantage of this update for
Microsoft PowerApps Development is that you can directly send
data into sources like Azure, SQL, Sharepoint lists and many
more. Apart from that, you can use it to extend the possibilities
of What-If analysis.
3. Introduction of PowerApps
If you are a person who doesn’t like coding but dreams of making
a mobile or web app, the PowerApps is the tool for you. It allows
you to make these mobile and web apps through a web-based
tool. An added benefit of this tool is that you don’t have to worry
about publishing this app on the app store. It is a pretty easy
procedure and your whole team can use the app no matter where
they are.
Now, this latest update allows you to embed a PowerApps app into
your Power BI report. Along with that, you can also pass data into
your PowerApps app through the BI report. This was done
because Microsoft realized that the world is adopting a more data-
driven approach and what is the use of a lot of data if it can’t be
used easily. So let’s dive into the technicalities of integrating
4. The new update added an in the form of Custom Visuals which
allows to download dedicated custom visuals for PowerApps. You
have to download this feature from the AppSource.
5. Once you have downloaded this feature, you can drag and drop to
empower your reports with a PowerApp.
PowerApps Icon in Power BI menu.
6. Sending data from Power BI and Using it in
PowerApps:
You have to start with dragging your custom visual dedicated to
PowerApps to drop it into your report workspace. Post that, you
have to choose the fields which you want to use in Power BI.
You can either create a new application or choose from the one
created earlier. You have to remember that you can only use
application linked to your email id or those applications which are
assigned to your user.
After you have clicked on Create New, you will find your dedicated
data set PowerBIIntegration which contains all the data fields you
chose in the Power BI.
7. How to ‘pin Power BI tiles to Power Apps?
An alternate way of integrating BI with PowerApps is that you can
embed a specific Power BI tile into your application. To do that:
● Click on controls.
● Select the Power BI tiles.
● Then choose an element from Workspace > Dashboard >
Tile.
9. Doing this is not a very complex process but we suggest that you
hire PowerApp developer from a professional PowerApps
Agency like Concetto labs which has a plethora of experience
when it comes to Power BI and PowerApps development.
