Hi jerics99,

Content Packs are only available when you and your colleagues have Power BI Pro. Reference: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-organizational-content-packs-introduction/ .

As you want to share a dataset with colleagues that use the free license, you can copy the PBIX file out to a folder and share the folder to your colleagues, from my point of perspective, this is what smoupre means by sharing. There is no option in Power BI desktop to share PBIX file.

Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

Probably not other than to share the PBIX file if you use Desktop. Group Workspaces are the intended vehicle for that but, yes, you need Pro to use that.

Hi,

Actually can you describe what you mean by Sharing, is there an option in Power BI desktop that you refer to? Or do you mean that by just adding the data set to Power Bi it gets avalable for collegues to query?
