    Hi,

     

    We do not have an API that returns your PBI location.

    Currently it can only be done manualy either my looking in the location Azure portal selects for you or by going to Power BI portal and clicking ? -> About Power BI - there you will see your location as well.

     

    Thanks,

    Tal

Hi xabikos,

First we tried to use the corresponding PowerShell command but when we execute it like this:

 

 

New-AzureRmPowerBIEmbeddedCapacity -ResourceGroupName "rc-reporting" -Name "rcdevembeddedcpacity" -Administrator "[email protected]" -Location "northeurope" -Sku A1

 

we get back the following error 

New-AzureRmPowerBIEmbeddedCapacity : Invalid Sku: 'A1'. Available Skus are: ''

And whatever the values we tried (A1 to A6) we got back the same error.

I noticed that the -Sku parameter should be a String value. So have you tried putting A1 in double quote in the command(like -Sku "A1") to see if it works?

 

Honestly I'm not very familiar with Azure PowerShell commands. If it is still doesn't work, I would suggest you also create a new issue on  Azure PowerShell Issues for better assistance. :smileyhappy:

 

Regards

Hello v-ljerr-msft

 

Thank you for your reply. 

 

I tried to pass the Sku parameter as string, with double quotes but no luck.

 

I will see if posting an issue on the corresponding GitHub issue might help.

 

Regards
