What We Build Into Your Power BI Integration
Power BI Dataset Access
We connect Excel add-ins to Power BI datasets via the REST API so users can query measures, dimensions, and KPIs directly from a spreadsheet.
Live Visual Embedding
We embed Power BI report visuals inside Excel task panes so your team sees current charts and dashboards without leaving their spreadsheet.
XMLA Endpoint Queries
For direct dataset access, we connect via the XMLA endpoint using DAX queries, which are faster and more flexible than the REST API for analytical workloads.
Azure AD Authentication
We implement Microsoft identity / Azure AD OAuth so users authenticate with their existing Microsoft 365 credentials and see only the datasets they have permission to access.
Scheduled Data Refresh
We build scheduled refresh triggers inside the add-in so Excel data stays current with your Power BI dataset without users manually clicking refresh.
Write-Back to Power BI Dataflows
We connect Excel add-ins to Power BI dataflows so curated spreadsheet data flows back into your reporting layer automatically.
How the Integration Project Works
- 1
Dataset & Permission Review
We confirm which Power BI datasets your users need access to, validate Power BI Pro or Premium licences, and map the data fields the add-in will surface in Excel.
- 2
Azure AD Auth Setup
We implement Microsoft identity OAuth so users authenticate with their existing Microsoft 365 credentials and the add-in respects Power BI dataset permissions.
- 3
Query Layer Build
We build the REST API or XMLA query layer that pulls the right measures, dimensions, and KPIs from your Power BI dataset into Excel ranges.
- 4
Add-in Build & Visual Embedding
We build the Office.js task pane, embed Power BI visuals where required, and implement scheduled refresh so data stays current without manual user action.
- 5
Testing & Deployment
We test across dataset sizes and permission levels, deploy via Microsoft Admin Center, and document the Power BI workspace configuration for your team.
