Posted on by CU10041037-0

Hi team,
I need help retrieving the report name from Power BI in Power Apps. For that i have a column in my dataset that contains the report name. When I create a new app through Power BI, I can successfully get the report name using First(PowerBIIntegration.Data, "Report Name"). However, when I enable a pre-existing app in Power BI, the report name does not appear. What could be the reason, and how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Hi @CU10041037-0

Can you please share pictures in the future it helps clarify exactly what is being asked.

You have embedded an app in Power Bi and it's not doing what you want, correct?

I need to dynamically retrieve the Power BI report name in a Power Apps text field so that the same app, when embedded in different Power BI reports, automatically displays the respective report name.

Each Power BI report has a separate column for the report name.

Steps I've Taken:

1️⃣ When embedding Power Apps in Power BI, I see two options:

"Choose App" (to select an existing app).

"Create New" (to generate a new Power App within Power BI).

2️⃣ If I select "Create New", I use the following formula in a text input field:
"First(PowerBIIntegration.Data).[Report Name]"
This successfully retrieves the report name from Power BI.
3️⃣ However, when choosing "Existing App", using the same formula does not work—the report name is not recognized in Power Apps.
