Hi bdpetersen10, how are you uploading the report to powerbi.com? Are you choosing Publish from within PBI dekstop, or are you going to powerbi.com and choosing Get Data?

Hi Anonymous,

 

Thank you for the reply!

 

I am publishing from within PBI desktop (and the other user would be publishing in the same way). We are going through an entire IT reconfiguration, so "Get Data" through powerbi.com is not currently an available option.

    Do you have a Pro licenses of Power BI? If so, you can create a group workspace where you and your employee can publish to the same place and overwrite each others' files. If you have a free license, then you will need to have your employee send the updated .pbix file to you and you will need to publish the file.

      We currently have the standard PBI licenses.

       

      That is what I suspected, thank you for the information.

       

      I'm still wondering, is it possible that I only upgrade my license, and my employee's license to pro while keeping all of our other users license standard? Would this still allow us to create a workspace to publish to and overwrite eachother's files, while still allowing our existing standard users to consume reports / dashboards the way that they currently do?
