Publishing the PBI

Hi,

Please advise if i can publish the dashboard i created and distribute a URL to watch it.

What are my publishing options?

Can the user filter the visual i provide in the dashboard if i dont provide a specific sliser or antoher visual at that report ?

Thanks.

    Hi Roinka 

    I'm not clear about your scenario.

    I assume the following situation:

    1.

    you create a report using Power BI Desktop, then wnat to publish online.

    If so, refer to the following article:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-upload-desktop-files

     

    2. 

    if you want to share reports/dashboards with others, please refer to

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-share-dashboards

    Hi Roinka ,

    "Please advise if i can publish the dashboard i created and distribute a URL to watch it."

    Yes you can.

    "What are my publishing options?"

    You can publish it publicly or within your organization or only show it to specific people.

    "Can the user filter the visual i provide in the dashboard if i dont provide a specific sliser or antoher visual at that report ?"

    As long as you have a slicer provided, they can filter the report. Also, they can also filterr the visual using the interactions feature Power BI which is really nice.  Lastly, you can show the filter pane and allow them to use it. You have options.

    Hi Roinka 

    Besides my previous post,

     

    Please advise if i can publish the dashboard i created and distribute a URL to watch it.

    Answer:

    you could publish reports to public website, then you will get a url, share the url with users, anyone can view your reports via the url.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-publish-to-web

     

    If you want only specific users to view your reports, share reports or dashboards in this way:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-share-dashboards

    Then users will receive a url to access your reports/dashboards.

    For external users, please refer to the following link

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-azure-ad-b2b

     

    Can the user filter the visual i provide in the dashboard if i dont provide a specific sliser or antoher visual at that report

    Answer:

    Refer to this link:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-url-filters

      Thank you all but i must be missing something.

      The links you provided are pointing to a share button, however what i have is a publish button:

      How do i get this share button?

      Thanks.
