# Get a Power BI embed link for Confluence

To get a Power BI embed link for Confluence, open the report in Power BI and choose **File**, then **Embed report**. **Website or portal** gives a secure link that only people with access in Power BI can view. **Publish to web (public)** gives a public link anyone can view. The link in your browser's address bar is not an embed link.

## Before you start

| **Link type**                    | **Looks like**                           | **Who can see the report**                                                                        |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Secure embed (Website or portal) | app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=... | Readers who can open the report in Power BI. They may be asked to sign in to Microsoft.           |
| Public (Publish to web)          | app.powerbi.com/view?r=...               | Anyone, including people outside your organisation. Your Power BI admin may have turned this off. |

## Steps

1. Open the report in the Power BI service.
2. Choose **File**, then **Embed report**.
3. Choose **Website or portal** for a secure link, or **Publish to web (public)** for a public one.
4. Copy the link, or the iframe HTML. Either works in the macro.
5. Paste it into the Confluence page or the **Power BI** macro.

📝

Only the report ID? Paste that alone and the macro builds a secure `app.powerbi.com` link from it. It is the value after `reportId=`.

---

## What happens next

The macro accepts links from `app.powerbi.com` and `app.fabric.microsoft.com` in the `/reportEmbed` and `/view` forms. It never signs in to Power BI itself, so what each reader sees is decided by Power BI.

---

## If it does not work

* The macro shows **Power BI not configured**: the link is a workspace or sharing address, not an embed link. Go back to **Embed report**.
* **Publish to web** is missing or greyed out: your Power BI administrator has disabled it. Use the secure link.
