Well done, Reza! I like how you've used CDS entity to demonstrate the deep-integration between Power Apps and Power BI. I'm also glad you pointed out that SharePoint isn't a Direct Query data source, however, you can use Power Automate flow to refresh the Power BI report.
Is there a tutorial that you know of that explains how to use Power Automate flow to refresh the Power BI report? I'm using SharePoint as my data source and would like to have it as "Direct Query", thanks
Last year I wrote in one of your videos that you're the best guy for power platforms. One year later, i must confess that not only i view the new video but also review the old ones because I always find sth relevant. You have no idea how you've been helping me. May god bless you even more 🤩
Reza, you are a savior! I was looking to expand PowerBI Integration in existing PowerApp and these small tricks are not covered on the web. I should've start straight with your videos. Thank you so much.
Reza, you're the best! Excellent demo! I think this integration is really awesome and it's a game-changer. Using Power BI as the main tool along with Power Apps integration only to perform CRUD, our apps are going to be much more analytical focused because Power BI is really powerful to perform complex calculations and build awesome data-driven visualizations....
Your favorite word is definitely "Go ahead". Lost count of how many times you say it. But I will go ahead and say that your video is very informative. Thank you!
Good work Reza. I was kind of working on the same effort. Your video has been helpful especially from direct query standpoint. Appreciate all your work.
Reza, thanks in a million Genius! Very well explained. This is the best thing since slice bread + Power BI at a click of a button. This is the nth time that I am watching this again. Great content. Awesome. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. “Great teachers are hard to find”. Grade: A++
Raza, you're the MAN 😎 So, it seems that for heavy duty PowerBI querying the real answer is CDS (or SQL server, which I believe in the long run will have less and less use of). My query is, what type of PA license do I need to achieve this PowerBI-CDS-PA integration? will a Microsoft 365 be enough? or do I need one of the standalone plans (per user/per app)?
CDS requires Power Apps premium licensing ( so does SQL ). Every user accessing the Power App would need the premium license. Also, for the PBI PA CDS combination, the user would also need a Power bi license

If no, how can I make it so that it interacts with the filters and slicers?

Great tutorial, what is the preferred remedy if my data source has more than 2000 records and I'm getting the "Getting your Data..." message in my Powerapp? Also, I do not have access to direct query.

Yes you can by changing the form mode depending upon the button selection. I have a video planned on form control that will explain all the basics. I also did a video on splitting large forms (it has the concept of the form mode in there). You can check it out here - czcams.com/video/9gI9OscTLD0/video.html

I followed your instructions to show in my PBI the comments entered by the users in an HTML LABEL, but in PBI they are seen with a very small font size if the user enters a long text and is displayed in a 16PT font size if the entered text is short. Can a fixed font (16 PT) be assigned regardless of the size of the entered text?
Ok. Thank you.. Other Question I published the PBI when the PowerAPPs forms is embedded. But when an user with rigths over the PBI try to use the powerApps an error is showed because the user is not authorized to use the PowerApps. I can't find where it can be setup?. do you know?

Hi Reza Thanks for sharing an excellent video. The last part of the video explaining about data refresh for the sharepoint list using the Power automate/PowerBI data source refresh within the power apps was skipped quickly and was not clear for me. Can you please point to any of your videos or blog which explains it in more detail?
I do not have any other supporting video or blog. SharePoint does not support direct query. Hence we can use flow to refresh the dataset however we are limited to how many refreshes we can make based on licensing. Video description has all the supporting links.
Not sure. You may not have access to those environments would be my guess. I will recommend you check on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case anyone has run into a similar issue.
What an awesome video ! While implementing this via data verse DQ source , it is working successfully . Just one Q @reza , every time while I am updating a record from the power bi service , it is actually producing a new row altogether , however the thought process was to alter the existing row .Any comments on WHY this has been happening? Again many thanks for this video
Update issue is because you are probably not connect to correct record context. My new video on this topic should have you covered. Check czcams.com/video/5y2jJyH4Eu0/video.html
Thanks for this video Reza. We've a button and Launch("mailto:") logic is opening an outlook email In powerapps which is working fine In a standalone powerapps environment. But when we embed the same visual to power bi report, it doesn't work. Any ideas or limitations here? Thanks.
Hi Reza, great tutorial. I have a SharePoint list in my dashboard as the source. I add the powerapps visual and select the fields from my list, but when I select create a new app in the powerapps studio I cant see any fields passed to the app. I see the powerbi integration connector but when I add a gallery and select powerbiintegration.data in items property, no data is displayed
I have not come experienced this and hence not sure what is the cause for your issue. I recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com in case someone has experienced something similar.
My guess would be Yes but have not tried it. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
I think you are not right when you say that the number of refresh will be limited at 33:50. The limit is only applied to schedule refresh (Pro = 8 refreshes per day for example) but not to On-demand refresh. I can read that on the microsoft website : "It is also important to call out that the shared-capacity limitation for daily refreshes applies to both scheduled refreshes and API refreshes combined. You can also trigger an on-demand refresh by selecting Refresh now in the dataset menu, as the following screenshot depicts. On-demand refreshes are not included in the refresh limitation."
That's correct. I was referring to the fact that SharePoint does not support direct query so refreshing the visuals using PowerBIIntegration.Refresh() from Power Apps will not work in case of SharePoint and one will be limited to x number of refreshes per day . One would have to schedule the refreshes or use flow to do so.
Hello Reza and thank you again for this insightful video. I have gone through everything and I was able to replicate all what you demonstrated but one thing I cannot find answer about is how to change the timezone in powerbi service. In the gallery the date shows in UTC time in label control which is different from my local time. In the form however it shows correctly because i set the date control Timezone in Local. Let's say that in PowerApps everything show as it should but in PowerBi date is shown in UTC; Any ideas?
Hi Raza, Thank you very much for the helpful video!!! Around min 19-21 in this video… in Screen2 / EditForm1 you setup Item = LookUp(Power_Devices,Name = Gallery1.Selected.crc05_name). Can you please explain the logic here? Why you have Name and at the end "crc05_name", i.e. specific data column name? Tried to reperform that step but don’t understand why you have Name = and if I put a specific data column from my data source (it’s a SharePoint List) I have error "Delegation warning. The highlighted part of this formula might not work correctly with column "Name" on large datasets". Any idea how to solve this? You have another video or article explaining this setting? Appreciating your advice! Assya
@@RezaDorrani Thanks a million, Reza! And sorry for misspelling your name.🙈 The formula from the video you sent me works - am so happy! 😁 Unfortunately, the order in which I see the Power BI items is not in the same order as the items in the embedded PowerApp window. Suspect the order in PowerBI report is alphabetical and the order in PowerApps is per the Id number via which I connect to my data source. You came across such problem too? Any idea (video) how to solve that? Your new fan 👍, Assya

Great job Reza. I launched the template file but it says "Unable to parse data source file. The given data source reference is not a valid data source". Also, How can I upgrade my environment if mine is earlier than 9.1.0.17....
Hello Isaacs, Please work with your IT Team. I have not tried this so be sure to check every aspect and backup your environment.

Thanks Reza, this is what I'm looking for.. Integration between Power Apps and Power BI.. My next project, my boss is looking dashboard view on Power Apps instead of accessing Power BI. Preliminary question, if I'm the only one who has the license of Power BI, if my boss need to check the dashboard view via Power Apps (after shared).. It's my boss need to have Power BI license as well?
Hi @ Reza!! Thank you! clear and awesome video as usual!! I have just built a demo following your guidance but with sharepoint online as the source. The only trouble now I'm facing is : how can you export BI service report which with embedded Powerapps , and import it to BI desktop report? Cuz normally a BI service report needs to be updated from BI desktop report , and unfortunately since Nov. the new version of BI desktop have trouble supporting building or choosing an existing app to embed (have reported this issue to MS). That's why I'm trying to build the embedded powerapps in BI service..but now don't see a way to import it back to BI desktop, any advice is appreciated!!
I did notice a few issues raised on this on the forums. I'm not sure of what the fix is. Something that I would have to try out. I will recommend you check on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/

Hi, How did you connected data source to Form in the screen 2 which you added, when i searched my data source which i connected to power bi, it is not appearing there (Data source of Form).
Wow this is great! thank you for this. Is dataverse has versioning feature as well similar to Sharepoint? I'd like to create an app that shows historical changes on columns/fields and use dataverse as my data source so I can also use Direct Query. Is it possible with Dataverse?
In Power BI, if you implement RLS, the same would also apply to the data in Power Apps as the PowerBIIntegration object will pass the data from Power BI to Power Apps and respect RLS.
Love you, sir. This is exactly what I have been looking for. I want to make a PowerApp containing game heroes/characters and then on click of a hero I want to filter out report data of that particular hero stats or abilities. I could do this within Power BI only but I am not sure if I can use images as filtering options on Power BI
As usual amazing video legend!!! A question... How to navigate to another page when an item is selected on a list in Power BI? for instance... I select an item on a list on Page 1 and navigate to Page 2 which includes a PowerApps edit form... I think that would be a good one legend
Thanks for liking the video. I am not sure how would one do that. I would have to try it out to learn if there is a function which does that. I will recommend you check on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/

Hey, I am using DirectQuery and using PowerBiIntegration.Refresh() but still my powerbi visuals are not updating i have to manually refresh the powerbi report.
Hello, When I refresh the PowerBI Visuals I loose the selected record. Is there a way to refresh PowerBI but also not loose the selected record in a table?
can you somehow leverage the Pbi pages in order to navigate to screens within powerapp ? I have a multipage PowerBi report and I want to leverage only one PowerApp, but I want it to reflect the data that is on the given page of Pbi. Is that possible?
Hi Avinoam, The editing and adding data does indeed take place directly in the CDS entity. In the video within the Power App I do connect to CDS and then use the form control to submit data. In this video I leverage CDS as a data source. However the same concept works with any other data source - Sql, SharePoint etc.
Can we get, in Powerapps, the value that was sent to filter the gallery (case where the value doesn't exist, so the gallery shows zero row but i still want to get the value sent) ?
Just an extra info: For both powerBI dateset refresh and dateset refresh via power automate refresh you can only use 8 times a day. so poor :( after 8 times you get an error message for dateset refresh
I have imported data from SharePoint as you did but am unable to perform refresh.Its showing "your data source can't be refreshed bcoz credentials are invalid.Where do I correct the credentials? Pls provide me solution
Hello Reza, thanks for the great video. I have one question: How can i get a value from my PowerBI Dataset as default value in a NewForm Textbox. Thanks for your response.
Power BI sends a array of data to Power Apps (your dataset + any filters if applied to dataset). You would need user to first select a single record from Power Apps, either via gallery or data table and then you can use that single record context, get the value you need from it and set it to Default property of your textbox.
@@RezaDorrani Thanks for the fast response. This is a very bad user experience because my Power BI Report is filtered by one Customer, so i want to add a new entry for this customer via Power Apps. I dont want do be select this customer in der Power App. Is there any other option?
@@RezaDorrani Thanks this works but only if i have at least one Record in my SQL Table. If i started with one customer that hat no item added, the textbox remains empty. The PowerBI ist still filted by one customer.

Can you please point to any of your videos or blog which explains it in more detail?
I do not have any other supporting video or blog.
SharePoint does not support direct query. Hence we can use flow to refresh the dataset however we are limited to how many refreshes we can make based on licensing. Video description has all the supporting links.
Thanks for the video, do you have any idea why i can't change my environment while i opening the power apps in the report?
Not sure. You may not have access to those environments would be my guess.
I will recommend you check on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case anyone has run into a similar issue.
What an awesome video !
While implementing this via data verse DQ source , it is working successfully .
Just one Q @reza , every time while I am updating a record from the power bi service , it is actually producing a new row altogether , however the thought process was to alter the existing row .Any comments on WHY this has been happening?
Again many thanks for this video
Update issue is because you are probably not connect to correct record context.
My new video on this topic should have you covered. Check czcams.com/video/5y2jJyH4Eu0/video.html
Thanks for this video Reza.
We've a button and Launch("mailto:") logic is opening an outlook email In powerapps which is working fine In a standalone powerapps environment. But when we embed the same visual to power bi report, it doesn't work. Any ideas or limitations here? Thanks.
Embedded power apps have limitations. This could very well be one of them. Not something I have tried hence not sure of a workaround
@@RezaDorrani OK thanks!
Hi Reza, great tutorial. I have a SharePoint list in my dashboard as the source. I add the powerapps visual and select the fields from my list, but when I select create a new app in the powerapps studio I cant see any fields passed to the app. I see the powerbi integration connector but when I add a gallery and select powerbiintegration.data in items property, no data is displayed
I have not come experienced this and hence not sure what is the cause for your issue. I recommend posting your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com in case someone has experienced something similar.
Hey, Thanks Reza for another awesome video.
My Power Bi source is Azure Cosmos , can i use the same for this purpose in place of MS Dataverse
My guess would be Yes but have not tried it.
I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
I think you are not right when you say that the number of refresh will be limited at 33:50. The limit is only applied to schedule refresh (Pro = 8 refreshes per day for example) but not to On-demand refresh.
I can read that on the microsoft website :
"It is also important to call out that the shared-capacity limitation for daily refreshes applies to both scheduled refreshes and API refreshes combined. You can also trigger an on-demand refresh by selecting Refresh now in the dataset menu, as the following screenshot depicts. On-demand refreshes are not included in the refresh limitation."
That's correct. I was referring to the fact that SharePoint does not support direct query so refreshing the visuals using PowerBIIntegration.Refresh() from Power Apps will not work in case of SharePoint and one will be limited to x number of refreshes per day . One would have to schedule the refreshes or use flow to do so.
Hello Reza and thank you again for this insightful video. I have gone through everything and I was able to replicate all what you demonstrated but one thing I cannot find answer about is how to change the timezone in powerbi service. In the gallery the date shows in UTC time in label control which is different from my local time. In the form however it shows correctly because i set the date control Timezone in Local. Let's say that in PowerApps everything show as it should but in PowerBi date is shown in UTC; Any ideas?

Hi Raza, Thank you very much for the helpful video!!!
Around min 19-21 in this video… in Screen2 / EditForm1 you setup Item = LookUp(Power_Devices,Name = Gallery1.Selected.crc05_name).
Can you please explain the logic here? Why you have Name and at the end "crc05_name", i.e. specific data column name?
Tried to reperform that step but don’t understand why you have Name = and if I put a specific data column from my data source (it’s a SharePoint List) I have error "Delegation warning. The highlighted part of this formula might not work correctly with column "Name" on large datasets".
Any idea how to solve this? You have another video or article explaining this setting?
Appreciating your advice!

@@RezaDorrani Thanks a million, Reza! And sorry for misspelling your name.🙈
The formula from the video you sent me works - am so happy! 😁 Unfortunately, the order in which I see the Power BI items is not in the same order as the items in the embedded PowerApp window. Suspect the order in PowerBI report is alphabetical and the order in PowerApps is per the Id number via which I connect to my data source.
You came across such problem too? Any idea (video) how to solve that?

Thanks Reza, this is what I'm looking for.. Integration between Power Apps and Power BI.. My next project, my boss is looking dashboard view on Power Apps instead of accessing Power BI. Preliminary question, if I'm the only one who has the license of Power BI, if my boss need to check the dashboard view via Power Apps (after shared).. It's my boss need to have Power BI license as well?
Yes, every user accessing Power BI will need the Power BI license.
Grt video.
One doubt, will power apps will fetch more than 2000 items from PowerBI integration data?
No
Hi @ Reza!! Thank you! clear and awesome video as usual!! I have just built a demo following your guidance but with sharepoint online as the source. The only trouble now I'm facing is : how can you export BI service report which with embedded Powerapps , and import it to BI desktop report? Cuz normally a BI service report needs to be updated from BI desktop report , and unfortunately since Nov. the new version of BI desktop have trouble supporting building or choosing an existing app to embed (have reported this issue to MS). That's why I'm trying to build the embedded powerapps in BI service..but now don't see a way to import it back to BI desktop, any advice is appreciated!!
I did notice a few issues raised on this on the forums. I'm not sure of what the fix is. Something that I would have to try out.

Also, wondering if i have to limit this to a certain section of audience using row level security. Can you demonstrate that in a session.
In Power BI, if you implement RLS, the same would also apply to the data in Power Apps as the PowerBIIntegration object will pass the data from Power BI to Power Apps and respect RLS.
@@RezaDorrani Thank you
Love you, sir. This is exactly what I have been looking for.

Hi Reza!
How do I delete a record? Very beautiful video!
Add delete icon in gallery and on select of it Use remove(thisItem) and then refresh the power bi data set
As usual amazing video legend!!! A question... How to navigate to another page when an item is selected on a list in Power BI? for instance... I select an item on a list on Page 1 and navigate to Page 2 which includes a PowerApps edit form... I think that would be a good one legend

You can use any data source of your choice. Check czcams.com/video/5y2jJyH4Eu0/video.html
Hello, When I refresh the PowerBI Visuals I loose the selected record. Is there a way to refresh PowerBI but also not loose the selected record in a table?
You could maybe be save a variable that has context of selected record and use that variable as selected record
can you somehow leverage the Pbi pages in order to navigate to screens within powerapp ? I have a multipage PowerBi report and I want to leverage only one PowerApp, but I want it to reflect the data that is on the given page of Pbi. Is that possible?
Power BI data is passed as a whole and not page wise. I don’t believe there is any such option.
BTW Reza,
I didn't get it, regarding the CDS integration here.
Does editing or adding data with the PA app actually update the data in the CDS entity?
Hi Avinoam,
The editing and adding data does indeed take place directly in the CDS entity. In the video within the Power App I do connect to CDS and then use the form control to submit data.
In this video I leverage CDS as a data source. However the same concept works with any other data source - Sql, SharePoint etc.
Can we get, in Powerapps, the value that was sent to filter the gallery (case where the value doesn't exist, so the gallery shows zero row but i still want to get the value sent) ?
It does not give the filter value. It only provides the data set.
@@RezaDorrani Thank you for the quick answer king
How to remove the "PowerBIIntegration" from the PowerApp located at the Screen Tree View? (PowerApps)
Why would you want to remove that? Entire concept is based on that object.
Just an extra info: For both powerBI dateset refresh and dateset refresh via power automate refresh you can only use 8 times a day. so poor :(
after 8 times you get an error message for dateset refresh
That is true for datasets in import query mode. I believe you can go up-to 40 refreshes per day with additional licensing.
How do i connect to a table that was created in power apps? I don't see it as an option in the list of data sources.
A table in power apps would be created in dataverse. You need to ensure its in same environment as the app.

Hello Reza, thanks for the great video. I have one question: How can i get a value from my PowerBI Dataset as default value in a NewForm Textbox. Thanks for your response.
Power BI sends a array of data to Power Apps (your dataset + any filters if applied to dataset).
You would need user to first select a single record from Power Apps, either via gallery or data table and then you can use that single record context, get the value you need from it and set it to Default property of your textbox.
@@RezaDorrani Thanks for the fast response.
