simplest sharing approach

Am looking to deploy free version in our Not-for-profit org.

 

Thinking I will:

  1. Develop a KPI dashboard
  2. Store results in One-Drive for the organisations O365 account
  3. Store excell and PBIX there
  4. Create shared group so they can see but not edit the PBIX - but perhaps update underlying XL files
  5. Ensure no PRO features are used
  6. Enable whole thing to be done without need for PRO licenses

Will that work?

Cheers

David

Yes, that will work without PRO licenses.Smiley Happy

Only thing I would not be sure of is the shared group, if by that you mean a group workspace, that is a Pro feature.

Hi

Thats very helpful. I was not putting a specific meaning to Groups. What I was imagining is that I can "invite" colleagues to the BI space so enabling them to see the dashboards, reports etc.

 

I really am very new indeed to this and so maybe I am being extraordinarily naive here!
