I have divided this article into five different parts.
In this article, we will talk about the basics of Power BI Embedded.
Now, let’s get started!
What is Power BI Embedded?
Power BI Embedded offers independent software vendors (ISVs) and developers a way to quickly add stunning visuals, reports, and dashboards into their applications through a capacity-based, hourly metered model.

We will embed our Power BI report using ASP.Net SDK and JavaScript SDK as well.
What do we need for the Development of Power BI Embedded?
  • One Power BI Pro account

  • Azure subscription to create Azure App function.

    For more information, you can refer the following article.

Today we will discuss how we can divide or split a very large data table into fixed size of chunks? Scenario: Suppose there is a data table which has 1000 Rows. When you perform for each loop on data table and read each row at that time it will take too much time. If we devide 1000 Rows datatable into 10 fixed sizes (e.g. 100 Rows) datatable, It will take less time. Let's check how to achieve it. Here is a code. private static List<DataTable> SplitTable(DataTable originalTable, int batchSize) { List<DataTable> tables = new List<DataTable>(); int i = 0; int j = 1; DataTable newDt = originalTable.Clone(); newDt.TableName = "Table_" + j; newDt.Clear(); foreach (DataRow row in originalTable.Rows) { DataRow newRow = newDt.NewRow(); newRow.ItemArray = row.ItemArray; newDt.Rows.Add(newRow); i++; if (i == batchSize) ...
