DHIS2 - PowerBi Dashboard

I got this post How to connect DHIS2 to Microsoft Power BI | A Step by Step Guide. Here you connect DHIS2 metadata to powerbi. I want to ask that after creating the visuals in Powerbi, Is there a way to embed them into DHIS2

Hi @1c699b409a68f19fba95 , thank you for your feedback. In relation to embedding Power BI visuals into DHIS2, I have not tried to do that. It could be possible if you are comfortable editing the DHIS2 interface.

I don’t understand the last part.

Sorry for the confusion. Let me clarify.

DHIS2 does not have a built-in feature to embed Power BI dashboards.
The only way it might be possible is through custom development, meaning editing the DHIS2 source code (React/JavaScript) to add an iframe or extension manually.
This is not something available in the standard DHIS2 configuration.

Does this make more sense?

Hi @1c699b409a68f19fba95

I think you might want to be looking into creating a custom DHIS2 web app for this to work. Could you share more about the use-case?

For example, do you mean by iframe to have a PowerBI dashboard webpage embed in the DHIS2 Dashboard app? Is it something else?

Thanks!

Yes I mean by iframe to have a PowerBI dashboard webpage embed in the DHIS2 Dashboard app. But I think I have an idea now.

Hi

Do you think using Supersets could be an alternative? I just looked more into it when @Stephan_Mestach was investigating it here.

Hi @Gassim, it is definitely worth looking into. I do not have a lot of experience with Apache Superset, but it is a good alternative to explore.
