Licensing needed for extract data to excel?

Hi all,

 

I have a question related to licensing if anyone can give me an input will be much appreciated.

 

One customer publishs dashboards to a public site, but the customer need that who consult the dashboard has the capability to download data to excel. 

What type of licensing does the external users need ? All of them that extract data from PBI dashboards need to have PRO or PREMIUM license ? 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Andrea

    Hi AndreaLee1212 ,

     

    You need to learn about Distribute content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    • Your recipients also need Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) licenses, unless the content is in a Premium capacity.
    • If you want to allow recipients to edit a shared report, you have to assign the user a workspace role that allows editing. 

    Share Power BI reports and dashboards with coworkers and others - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

     

     

    Best Regards,

      Hi Stephen,

       

      Thanks a lot for your reply, because helped me clarify somes points about editing for external users.

      I have another question related to this , maybe you might help: if the end users are few like 50 should I consider only Pro licenses, as it is most cost effetive ?

       

      Thanks in advance,
