Hi Phil1,
Very quick question about the desktop version. Our IT department are saying that there is a delay in rolling out Power BI desktop to us because it automatically uploads data to a Microsoft Azure server. I didn't know this was the case with the desktop version, I assumed it wouldn't be.
You're right. Power BI Desktop won't automatically publish your data(reports, dataset) to the server. :smileyhappy:
In order to publish a Power BI Desktop dataset and reports to the server, we must sign in Power BI Desktop with our Power BI account first, then go to Power BI Desktop > File > Publish > Publish to Power BI or click Publish on the ribbon.
Reference: Publish from Power BI Desktop
