    Hi ylingaiah1

    Sorry for being late, as i have be stuck with my own issues recentlly. 

    let's go ahead.

    Get the power bi free account

    1.Search for www.powerbi.com

    2.select the Sign up free link that you'll see in the upper right corner

    3.Sign up with your email address (a work, school email address required, instead of a personal email address)

     

    Publish the power bi desktop reports to service

    1.In Power BI Desktop > File > Publish > Publish to Power BI or click Publish on the ribbon.

    2.Sign in to Power BI

    When complete, you'll get a link to open your report in your Power BI site.

     

    Create dashboards in service

    if you want to create a dashboard from a report, please follow steps below

    1.Hover over the visualization you want to pin, and select the pin icon. Power BI opens the Pin to dashboard screen.

     

    2.Decide whether to pin to an existing dashboard or new dashboard.

      • Existing dashboard: select the name of the dashboard from the dropdown. Dashboards that have been shared with you will not appear in the dropdown.
      • New dashboard: type the name of the new dashboard.

    3.Select Pin.

    A Success message (near the top right corner) lets you know the visualization was added, as a tile, to your dashboard.

    4.From the navigation pane, select the dashboard with the new tile. Select the tile to jump back into the report.

     

    Regards

    Maggie
