Hi @all,

Dear Community,

I have insights from any one regarding :

Is there any way to share a Power BI Desktop file to other person by making it read only, that is no underlying DAX, Model or Data will be visible only reports can be accessible as read only.

 

I  do not want to use Power BI Service here, just using the Power Bi Desktop version we want to achieve the same.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

@Susmita_Saha Not to my knowledge, no. In the Service you could use the free option of Publish to Web if it is a licensing thing you are trying to avoid.
