Workfront Integration with Visualization Tools (Microsoft Power BI and Tableau)

I'm aware that Workfront Reporting Canvas will be available in coming months, but it would be nice to have Workfront API working with Viz tools like Power BI and Tableau.

From Power BI, you can export to PowerPoint, or even better...From PowerBI. Click File, Embed Report >> Website or Portal. This will provide an embed link URL. From within Workfront, you can setup a dashboard, and add a URL through the Add External Link. You can then copy and paste the PowerBI Embed link. There may be a prompt to login to PowerBi, but once you do, the chart will show on the dashboard.

I tried using the embed link option and added it to a dashboard as an external link. It works fine, though you will get a login prompt first.

Steven's embed workaround works well for getting Power BI charts into Workfront. You'll still need a decent grasp of Power BI itself to build useful visualizations. I took power bi training uk and it helped me a lot with that. The course covers Power Query, DAX, and dashboards, so you can then just focus on the embed step.
