Power Bi as a reporting tool for our web app

‎11-12-2017 03:54 AM

We are completely rewriting our current browser based product. For reporting we're currently using Crystal Reports. I've just started learning Power BI. I've seen enough to be impressed. Our new product will be hosted on Microsoft Azure. Can Power BI act as a general purpose report writer for us? We'd need the ability for our app to call Power BI with a report definition and then have Power BI retrieve the necessary data and render the report in a web page. Can Power BI be used this way?

It depends of how are you developing. If you do a report and other developer is the Pro User you must use his credentials and workspace to embed into your app or you have to give the full report to him for embedding purposes. In conclusion, you can have one pro license for all your team but only with your account will be possible embed into your app.
