# How to View a Live 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:

```python
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](https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelkovalsky/?originalSubdomain=il)

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](https://semantic-link-labs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/sempy_labs.report.html#sempy_labs.report.launch_report) for more details.

The method looks like this:

```python
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.
