SSAS connection with Power BI Desktop
vickydKGrice I believe the live connection alone would require a Pro license if the reports were published to the Power BI Service.
If the question is can you pass around PBIX files and "not" use the Power BI Service, then the answer is "yes" you can do that. The end users would still need read permissions on the tabular model, and you don't get any benefit of sharing via dashboards, mobile, etc. But it should work just fine.

Yes. To start with I was just thinking of sharing the pbix file and see if people find value of using it over Excel. Mobile and publishing is definitely a plus but taking it one step at a time.
