what happens when you use "public" report from powerBI dektop?

[M4tt30R]

Goomorning everybody. I am new.

I have tried "public" button from my powerBI desktop with an exemple report.

I do not have a company account.

Where is now the report? is it possible to find it in some ways? do I have to do something or if I do not buy a licence the file will be delete in future ?

many thanks

Hi  @M4tt30R ,

When you want to share a report on top of Power BI Desktop, you must have a Power BI license to share the report to the Power BI service, and you will be prompted to select the location in the Power BI service where you want to share the report. For example, a workspace, a team workspace, or some other location in the Power BI service.

If you do not have a Power BI license, then you can use Ctrl + S to save your sample as PBIX on your local computer, after which you can search directly on your local computer to find it.

@M4tt30R , Public or publish?

It is published to power bi service - app.powerbi.com

Hi, publish sorry. But to finilize it I need to enter any mail or account details first, isn’t it? And if I do not complete that step, where is the file?

thanks
