Leveraging Power BI reports in Power BI dashboards

By default, the tiles of a dashboard are independent of each other and cannot be filtered or interacted with. Additionally, modifications to reports after visuals have been pinned to dashboards, such as filter and layout changes, are not automatically reflected in the dashboards. In many scenarios, the users consuming a dashboard want to retain the interactive filtering experience of Power BI reports from within their dashboard and it can be helpful to automatically synchronize reports with dashboards.

In this recipe, a fully interactive live page of visuals is pinned to a dashboard, along with additional supporting visuals.
