How to Embed a Single Power BI Visual in SharePoint
Question details
The user wants to display an individual visual from a Power BI report on a SharePoint page rather than embedding the entire report.
- Product
- Power BI / SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Integrating specific data visuals into a SharePoint intranet or team site without displaying irrelevant report pages.
- Observed behavior
- Needs the correct method and link format to isolate and display a single Power BI visual using the SharePoint web part.
Ensure you have edit permissions for the SharePoint page, and confirm that your organizational policies allow Power BI embedding. Viewers will also need appropriate Power BI access to see the visual.
Use the Power BI Web Part with a Visual-Specific Embed Link
Extract a specific embed link for the individual visual from Power BI and insert it into a SharePoint page using the built-in Power BI web part.
SharePoint Online provides a native Power BI web part that makes embedding seamless. By generating a link directly to a specific visual rather than the whole report, you can highlight exact metrics on your SharePoint site.
Open your Power BI report in the Power BI service. Locate the specific visual you want to embed, click the 'More options' (...) menu on the visual, select 'Share', and choose 'Link to this visual' to generate a URL specifically for it.
Navigate to your SharePoint page and click 'Edit' at the top right. Hover over the section where you want to place the visual, click the '+' icon to add a new web part, and select 'Power BI'.
Click 'Add report' on the Power BI web part. In the properties pane that appears on the right side of the screen, paste your visual-specific embed link into the 'Power BI report link' field.
Configure the display options in the properties pane, such as aspect ratio or displaying the action bar. Once it looks correct, click 'Republish' or 'Publish' at the top of the SharePoint page to save your changes.
Looking for a Lightweight Office Suite? Try WPS Office
While Power BI and SharePoint are specialized Microsoft tools, if you are looking for a cost-effective and lightweight solution for your daily document, spreadsheet, and presentation tasks, WPS Office is an outstanding choice.

- 3. Open Your Office Files: Launch WPS Office and directly open your existing .docx, .xlsx, or .pptx files to start working immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Power BI visual not loading for some users on SharePoint?
This usually happens because the viewers do not have the required Power BI Pro/Premium license, or they have not been granted permission to view the underlying report in the Power BI service.
Can I embed a single visual instead of the whole report?
Yes, by generating an embed link specifically for the visual from the Power BI service's 'Link to this visual' option, rather than using the general report link.
Does the Power BI web part in SharePoint require coding knowledge?
No, the Power BI web part is a native, user-friendly component in SharePoint Online. You only need to paste the correct embed URL into the web part's property pane.
