What you are seeing

The report is cut off or too short, and there is a scrollbar inside it that is awkward to use.

#Why it happens

The frame defaults to 450px tall and the embedded report manages its own scrolling, so a tall report is clipped by the frame rather than expanding the page.

#What to do

Open the macro configuration and raise Height until the whole report fits, for example 700px or 900px.

What happens

Allowed report hosts

App.powerbi.com and app.fabric.microsoft

Anything else will not render.

Allowed URL shapes

Exactly one path segment: /view or /repo

/view must carry an 'r' query parameter (secure report link). /reportEmbed must carry a 'reportId' query parameter (public report link). Anything deeper or differently shaped fails validation.

Bare report ID format

A standard 36-character UUID

A UUID is turned into https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=<id>&autoAuth=true. It always targets app.powerbi.com, never Fabric.

#A few things that catch people out

  • There is a loose final fallback in the URL check that uses a 'contains' test on the hostname instead of an exact match, so a lookalike hostname can slip past validation.

  • The Power BI client declares a feature flag (confluence.powerbi), but feature flag gating is only applied inside the Suite app, and Power BI is not in the Suite. The flag therefore does nothing today.

  • There is no Power BI showcase page in the Asset Store demo content, by design.

Found it? Good.
