I am new to Power BI.
I need to created paginated reports. Does using Report Builder require Power BI premium? My data is in the form of CSV/XLSX or can be accessed using REST. I just need to create reports locally.
for now I just want to create a report and export as PDF. I don't think I need to publish to Power BI Service.
This page implies that I need premium: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/
This page indicates that a Pro user can create reports: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-support-for-non-premium-power-bi-datasets-in-pow...
Solved! Go to Solution.
Report Builder itself requires no premium. Publishing a report created with Report Builder in Power BI requires premium capacity in the service and a Power BI Pro license for the author.
