Query regarding sharing Power BI report

[Sushain]

Hello Everyone,

I have a query. I want to share my Power BI report's link to external user but they dont want to install power bi at there end to see my report. Is there any way I can share the report to them without them having to create a power bi account and without having to install power bi.

Plz let me know if anybody knows. 

Thank You in advance for your help.

The only option I can think of for this is the Publish to Web feature. This allows you to share a report to the public, which means pretty much anyone with an internet connection can access the report.

This obviously isn't a viable solution for data that should be private. If you need to control access to the report, then there must be some sort of authentication process either involving Power BI accounts or a Power BI Embedded solution.

Thx @AlexisOlson. I found this solution later on since I didnt get any response. Thank you for answering but my query got resolved.

Sure but I did the same way you had suggested me with the solution. The only different thing was that my setting was disabled which I had to do in order to make publish to web work. So do you want me to still show how I did?

[AlexisOlson]

No. That's fine. This thread should have sufficient information now.

A reply/update along these lines is what I would have recommended.

Publish to Web worked for my situation but I had to enable that as an option first.

OK I'll keep that in mind for future answers. Since no one gave me any reply to my query and it was quite urgent so it didn't strike me to update it over here.
