Hello Dears

Given that you are using a current MS 365 version of Access, it is important to know if you are using the new Edge-based web browser control or the old web browser control. There are blocking issues with the Edge-based web browser control. I believe, for one thing, you can use the URL for a view of the Power BI visual, but not the URL to the edit, or development, environment where the source Power BI is located.

Hello Professor @GPGeorge
It is my pleasure to hear from your kind.
I have read a little at Microsoft that I should upgrade my Office 365 to version 2304 to support Edge as i am using now version 2302, learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/current-channel?redirectSourcePath=%252farticle%252f95c8d81d-08ba-42c1-914f-bca4603e1426#version-2307-july-27:~:text=Version%202304%3A%20April%2025

I am asking my administrator to upgrade, and I will test again and I will feed you back.

Well, I didn't actually mean that you would need to update Office or use the Edge web browser control, only that it should be available. I doubt, in fact, that updating MS 365 alone will resolve the problem. Apparently, some of my other comments were also too broad, not allowing for your level of experience.

I mentioned that there is both a URL for a shareable view of a Power BI visual, and a URL for the development environment in which the visual is edited. For example:

="

Microsoft Power BI

app.powerbi.com

?r= the long string identifying the specific visual goes here"
The view which you CAN use in the Edge web browser control to display the visual in Access

Power BI

app.powerbi.com

/the string identifying my development environment goes here?experience=power-bi
The development environment which you CAN NOT use in the Edge web browser control

When you publish a PBI from the desktop, you should be able to get that shareable view link to use in the Edge web browser control. I think the experience has changed in MS 365 since I created that view above, so I'm a bit unclear on how to get to it. One of the frustrating things about MS in general and MS 365 in particular is that nothing stays consistent for long.

Invest some time in MS 365 in your Power BI environment to figure out how to get a shareable link to the view you need.

If someone has more recent, more relevant experience, please chime in.

kindly note that Power BI reports are developed by another department; I am using only the URL link of power BI report which i am using on the windows edge browser and viewed normally successfully.
