In this blog, we see how to integrate the Power BI Report with the Canvas App. Microsoft has recently provided an integration of the Power BI report within the Canvas app, as the report will be handy for users working on Mobile apps.

Let’s consider a scenario where we need to show a complete sales report within the Canvas app.

We will need to follow the steps below to achieve this requirement.
