Microsoft Power BI for Confluence allows you to easily embed Power BI reports and dashboards in Confluence pages.
How to retrieve a report’s embed link
Private sharing
If you want your users to log into a licensed Power BI account to see the report:
Access the Microsoft Power BI webapp
Open your report
Copy the link from your browser’s address bar
Please note that the relevant part of the link is the one preceding "/ReportSection", as the default section to be opened at startup is determined by the report settings. If you want to change the default section, open the desired page in the webapp and save a new report. The new report will have the active page as its default section.
Public sharing
If you want your report to be publicly available without login:
Access the Microsoft Power BI webapp
Open your report
Click File -> Embed report -> Publish to web (public)
The URL link will look like this:https://app.powerbi.com/view...
Please note that some Power BI features may not be supported in the public version of embedded reports.
How to retrieve a scorecard’s URL
The URL of the scorecards is the web address you find in the address bar of your browser when navigating the scorecard itself. Just copy it!

From the address bar of your browser, copy the part of the URL address that goes from ‘ReportSection’ (included) to '?' (excluded).

Filter expression
Microsoft’s documentation here explains how to filter embedded reports adding URL parameters:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-url-filters
The Filter expression field in Microsoft Power BI for Confluence uses the same query string parameters to filter the report. Fill the field with the same parameters you’d add in an embed URL.
