You can also use the "Power BI Desktop" application to build more complex dashboards with multiple pages and interactive features. This application allows you to connect to a wide range of data sources and perform data transformations before creating your dashboard.

Embed dashboard in Power apps
You can embed Power BI dashboards and reports into a Power Apps canvas app using the "Power BI tiles" control. This control allows you to display a Power BI dashboard or report directly within your canvas app, providing a seamless integration between the two platforms.

To embed a Power BI dashboard or report in a Power Apps canvas app, follow these steps:

1. Open the Power Apps canvas app in which you want to embed the Power BI dashboard or report.
2. On the Insert tab in the ribbon, click the "Power BI tiles" control in the "Charts" group.
3. A new "Power BI tiles" control will be added to the app.
4. In the properties pane, select the "Configure dashboard tiles" option.
5. In the "Power BI tiles" configuration window, select the dashboard or report that you want to embed from the list of available dashboards and reports.
6. Click "Save" to save the configuration and close the window.

Your Power BI dashboard or report will now be embedded in the canvas app and will be displayed within the "Power BI tiles" control. You can further customize the appearance and behavior of the control using the available properties in the properties pane.

Note: To use the "Power BI tiles" control, you must have a Power BI Pro license and the Power BI service must be configured to allow embedding. You also need to have the necessary permissions to access the Power BI dashboard or report that you want to embed.

You can also show dashboards related to Model Driven app of each entity in the views. Ribbons have a Power BI dashboard view option where you can pre-select data for dashboards or can customize dashboards as per requirements.
