3. Embed in a Website

Once you have the embed code, insert it into your website using HTML. Here’s an example:

Replace YOUR_EMBED_URL_HERE with the URL from the embed code.

For a responsive design, use percentages for width and height: 

<iframe width="100%" height="500" src="YOUR_EMBED_URL_HERE" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

5. Advanced Integration

For greater control, use the Power BI JavaScript API. This allows you to:

  • Customize dashboards dynamically

Refer to the Power BI JavaScript API documentation for detailed guidance.
