Embedding reports in other applications

What if you need to embed a report in your organization's website? How do we do? We have seen a common answer for this requirement; many save the output of the report as an image and add it to the website because it is the easiest way of embedding an output of a report to another application.

Reporting Services supports report embedding. It allows us to make the report as an embedded report without much effort. It only needs an additional tag to the URL and it works for both mobile and paginated reports. Once we have the URL, it can be used with another web page or applications using an iframe along with its parameters for showing the report with the same functionalities.

Reporting Services supports embedding reports into Power BI dashboards. This is called as Pinning to Power BI. This is really useful and it eliminates the necessity of creating the same outputs in Power BI dashboards, saving time and resources.
