PowerBI report sharing


You can of course send your PowerBI file. But if you want to keep control over modifications and simply allow sharing, You must have a license (around ten euros per month).

PowerBI web

Go to https://app.powerbi.com

You can create workspaces to organize your reports.

Publish the report

In PowerBI Desktop, on your report, at the top right click on Publish

Your report is then sent to the Microsoft cloud.

Authorize the data source

Depending on your configuration, you may need to authorize the “anonymous” data source.

If you have downloaded the Cadulis demo file, this step is indeed required.

Share in Cadulis

You have configured your report in PowerBI Desktop, and published it to the cloud?

All that’s left is to display it directly in Cadulis!

Dashboard tab in Cadulis

By default in Cadulis, the “Dashboard” tab is not displayed in the menu. The link is available at the bottom of the Activities page.

You can make it available by clicking on your name at the top left, then Edit my profile, then Miscellaneous: check the box Link to dashboards in the menu and save.

  • On https://app.cadulis.com go to Dashboard then Create a dashboard.
  • On the dashboard, add a widget of type PowerBI Report

Configuration

To link the display in Cadulis to your dashboard published on Microsoft Cloud, you will need to connect your Microsoft account with Cadulis. Click on the corresponding button.

Once the connection is made, choose the report you want to display.

You can specify a single page to display: useful if you only want to make one PowerBI report page available in Cadulis!

Display

In Cadulis, by clicking on the Dashboard menu you directly display your dashboard, loaded from the PowerBI cloud.
