This is a desired feature for us as well. We would like the end user to always see the calendar showing the current time period instead of the time period that was selected when the report was saved. It doesn't need to be the default but if there was an option to configure the calendar to show the current period that would be very useful.

Power BI Embedded, report.render gives error for a dashboard
I recently tried to implement phased embedding over embedding. Works fine on reports, but I get a type error: report.render is not a function when I try it on a dashboard. The dashboard is still building okay, but I get the error. Has anyone else experienced this?

Clustered Column Char adding a line that represents the total percentage and not the Average
Using the following data;
| State | Amount 1 | Amount 2 | Percentage Amount 2 |
| NSW | $500,000 | $89,000 | 17.80% |
| VIC | $450,000 | $56,986 | 12.66% |
| QLD | $350,000 | $36,589 | 10.45% |
Is it possible to chart a Clustered Column Chart that uses the variable "Percentage Amount 2" as the bars but the line should be the percentage of the total of Amount 2 divided by the total of Amount 1.
Example: Amount 2 [$182,575] / Amount 1 [$1,300,000] = 14.04%
The chart should like this;

Re: Single PowerBI Embedded API to call separate reports based on condition
Hi
I think you don't need to create another REST API . As you already mentioned you can parameterize and have a condition to show based.
Withthis you have very small changes to your code and avoid duplications too.

How do I alter data display based on security?
I have a table that displays employee data, some of which is sensitive. We want to hide the employee name for users who don't have the proper security. I already have the following datasources. I am just not sure how to link them together to get the results I want.
| Employee Data: | ||
| Name | Salary | PayGroup |
| Jane Doe | 20000 | 1 |
| John Doe | 15000 | 2 |
| Jim Smith | 10000 | 3 |
| Joe Shmoe | 5000 | 4 |
| Tom Thumb | 25000 | 1 |
| Current User Name: |
| UserName |
| =USERNAME() |
| User Security Info: | |
| Username | PayGroup |
| mydomain\Donald | 1 |
| mydomain\Donald | 2 |
I have 2 users in my example - Donald and Nancy. When they view the report, the table should look like so:
| User Donald should see: | |
| Employee Name | Salary |
| Jane Doe | 20,000 |
| John Doe | 15,000 |
| Tom Thumb | 25,000 |
| ***** | 15,000 |
| User Nancy should see: | |
| Employee Name | Salary |
| ***** | 75,000 |
Any ideas?

Data Flow: Get Data Sources
I'm trying to get the data sources for a Data Flow using the GetDataflowDatasourcesAsAdmin API, but when I call it I get two entries for each data source. The connection details are identical, but they have different data source id and gateway id. How can I know which one is the "real" one?
And also, if I add a new entity (with a new data source) to a data flow, but cancel before I have saved the changes, I still get two entries for that data source, even if it is not used by the data flow. Why?
Thanks for any input!

Dashboard/reports embedding in Dynamics 365
Hi,
If I add a new PBI dashboard in dynamics365 dashboard page, how is the connection established? Could someone please explain on a deeper technical level on how it's connecting. A client of mine would like to know due to their security policyies.
And a follow up question: Is it only possible to add PBI reports to D365 from PBI service or is it possible to embedd it from PBI report server also?
