Is it possible to embed powerbi reports within K2 smartforms?

Hi,


 


That depends on what you mean by embed. If you are referring to using a control to embed PowerBI, then I don't think there is a control out of the box that can achieve that. If you have a URL that can open up a readable version of your report, you can try using the Content control to "embed" the report in your form.

Hi Braddo,


 


Please see the below link to our K2 Five user guide that discusses how to use the K2 OData Feed with Microsoft Power BI:

I hope this helps.

 

Kind Regards

Hi,


 


As boringNerd was saying, you can use Smartform content control to achieve this (https://help.k2.com/kb001366)

Hi,


 


I have seen something similar to this in the past when K2 was configured for Http but the url was Https. Have you tested the content control with a generic site (i.e https://www.k2.com)?

Hi,


 


I tested this out early today and got similar behavior that you mentioned. For it to work, the report must be published with web feature in Power BI. See video link: http://www.screencast.com/t/59mBdGjPXdNY


 


Publish to web from Power BI

We don't use the web version of PowerBI

we use the on prem version

Hi braddo,


 


As a test, could you embedded the report in a HTML page with iframe tag and see if that will work?


It sounds like anonmyous access must be set for the report on Power BI report server for it to work correctly for the on prem version.
