Power BI Report Inside a Microsoft Fabric Notebook

Method 1: Using the powerbiclient Python Package

The powerbiclient Python package makes it incredibly easy to embed Power BI reports directly within your Microsoft Fabric notebook. With just a single line of code, you can interact with a live Power BI report, allowing you to:

Use filters for quick analysis
Apply bookmarks to view pre-saved report states
Export data from visuals for further exploration

Here’s an example of how to embed the report:

from powerbiclient import Report

report = Report(report_id="Your_Report_ID")
report

Key Points:

The powerbiclient package is pre-installed in Fabric notebooks, so no manual installation is required.

Method 2: Using Semantic Link Labs -Kudos to Michael Kovalsky

Alternatively, you can use the Semantic Link Labs package, which allows you to launch a Power BI report within a Fabric notebook without needing a report ID.

You can refer to the official documentation for more details.

The method looks like this:

sempy_labs.report.launch_report(report="Report_Name", workspace=None)

This function will embed the Power BI report inside the notebook. The workspace parameter is optional and defaults to the workspace attached to your lakehouse or notebook.
