Azure ML in Power BI

[Asking]

Hello,

When I try to use Azure ML on the desktop I get the following message:

One of the things that are mentioned on this page is:

My organization has a pro license. I switched mine specifically to premium as I thought that was why I can't find this setting, but even when I am with premium, nor I or the admin can find this setting. 

What am I missing please?

Hi @Asking 

To use Azure Machine Learning (Azure ML) in Power BI Desktop, the following requirements must be met:

1. The workspace must be assigned to a Premium or Fabric capacity.
   A Premium Per User (PPU) license is not sufficient.

2. The AI workload must be enabled in the Capacity settings within the Power BI Admin Portal, with memory allocation (e.g., 20%).

3. An active Azure subscription is required, with access to an Azure Machine Learning workspace.

4. The user must have appropriate permissions on the Azure ML workspace (e.g., Contributor or Owner).

5. If the model performs computations, Azure usage will be billed based on compute and storage, and may require available Azure credits.

This configuration allows models in Azure ML to be called from within Power BI Desktop using AI Insights.
