Introduction
Welcome to week 6 of Workout Wednesday 2025. In this week’s challenge we will be exploring other charting options used across the web and how these can be embedded into Power BI Desktop.
Using publicly accessible charts and data, we will utilise the HTML content visual to embed interactive charts within iFrames.
The examples used come from Our World in Data, Datawrapper and Google Charts. Take a look at these options, perhaps create your own charts to embed using sample data, to tell a compelling story.
What other charts can be embedded?
What are the benefits and potential use cases for embedded charts?
Be mindful the data in these charts are public
