Advocate IDashboard Vs Report
ah ok! and yes i have those books already.
Ok when you publish to the Power BI service, it creates 2 objects a dataset and a report. Even though technically what you have already created is a dashboard you need to pin that 'report' aka dashboard into a dashboard.
What you need to do is in the Power BI service, manually create a dashboard in the dashsboard workspace by clicking the + where it says dashboard. Basically what you doing it creating a shell to dump your 'report' into. Then open your report, at the top of the screen you should see pin live dashboard, pin it to the dashboard you just created.
You might want think about creating a group workspace for the group you created, in other words the default will be your work space. Create a group workspace to share your content with the group that are going to consume the dashboard. You can do that under my work space at the top. Then add all the users into that, unless there is already an defined group in your office 365 domain that you can add it to. There is a way of linking those groups to power bi i think.
hope that makes sense.
Community ChampionA dashboard is more of a high level view of something specific that you want to monitor ;
1. gives you a high level view of what it is you are monitoring
2. alerts you to issues that might be happening
3. gives you information in order to action something
Reports, as in Standard type reporting tends to be more detailed in nature and more for day to day operational type activities. You can have a dashboard that drills down into a detailed report, however it depends.
Power BI is not necessarily the right solution for all reporting, it really just depends on what your requirements are.
Advocate IThanks, my requirement is to share some charts with 10-50 other users. I seem to be struggling to do this.
Tableau made this a lot simpler to manage..
