I apologize if my previous response was unclear.

 

In Power BI, environments are not contained within workspaces, but rather they are separate entities in the Power BI Service. An environment is a container that holds datasets, dashboards, reports, and other Power BI assets. You can create and manage multiple environments within a workspace, or in multiple workspaces.

Thank you for the clarity on the relationship between workspaces and environments.

 

I still see no way to set my environment.  Again, in Power Automate it's an option at the top of the screen.  Easy.  In Power BI that option is not there, and I do not see an option (or any mention of environments at all) anywhere in the main service screen.

 

 

Can you (or anyone else kind enough to help) tell me where on this screen I should be looking please?

    I agree there seems to be no way to select the environment from Power BI!
