Can't share

Have 60-day free Pro version of Power BI but all three options under the green 'Share' button result in an error message about OneDrive and having our admin configure things properly, however no details on exactly what to do.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    To share files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, all of the following requirements must be met:

     

    You're signed in to Power BI Desktop using your Microsoft Entra account.

     

    This feature is enabled through the options menu in Power BI Desktop.

     

    A Power BI administrator has enabled this feature.

     

    The ability to open, save, and share files from OneDrive and SharePoint directly in Power BI Desktop is now enabled by default.

     

    Administrators need to ensure that the option to share links to Power BI Desktop files (.pbix) saved to OneDrive and SharePoint is enabled.

     

    For more information on this see:

    Power BI Desktop OneDrive and SharePoint integration - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Integration admin settings - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

     

    Administrators should review the export and sharing settings in the Power BI admin portal. These settings determine how and who can share Power BI content, including content shared with external users.

     

    For more information please see:

    Export and sharing tenant settings - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

     

    If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.
