Sharing Reports
Anonymous Erm - I would have proposed to publish the report to his own PBI account, create a PBI group, then either a) create content pack and import report into group or b) upload PowerBI file into group.
Did you exclude that on purpose or did I miss sth here? :o
// Was he referring to the desktop app only?
Thanks. I guess I will pin the visuals...
But I still don't understand why aren't reports made sharable like dashboards? I don't get the reasoning. It makes the desktop app useless for most business uses basically.
Resolver IIt is ridiculous how hard it is to share a report.
Apps are becoming a pain... it is crazy that a user who has access to the app cannot pin tiles to their OWN dashboard from the shared reports. I see no logical reason (even business-wise) why this recommendation from the board has not been adopted.
From the beginning of Power Bi I have shared dashboards with pinned tiles from each of the reports so that users can then navigate to the report. Ultimately, I did this only because it would end up with the end user having the reports populated down the left side menu of reports.
This however, now is not the case.
I have a main user who can no longer view reports and there has been a change in the service to where I can no longer share as I used to (probably because of the apps).
Apps are not the end all solution.
Please just let us share reports with users (they already have PowerBi licenses....).
