Making Power BI reports interactive with embedded Power Apps

Power BI is the definitive reporting tool. It allows the fusion of many data sources to build dashboards and reports that aid organizations in getting the knowledge they need from the insight received from this data.

Being part of Power Platform, we can expect integrations from other tools that compose this platform. For example, Power BI integrates with Power Automate via alerts. When an alert gets triggered, a cloud flow can execute notifications depending on the trigger’s data or even record these alerts in a data source for auditing purposes.

Power Apps allows embedding applications inside reports to extend data visualization or information processing, thus improving the interaction with the analytics solution.
