Power BI Copilot Not Working Despite Premium Per User Setup
User Info:
Name: Eoin Morrissey
Microsoft 365 Subscription: Office 365 E5 Developer (no Teams) – activated April 4, 2025
Power BI Trial: Premium Per User (PPU) – active, 59 days remaining
Workspace Name: Skincare with Copilot_Premium
Workspace License Mode: Premium Per User – Reserved
Admin Settings: Copilot enabled via Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Steps Completed:
Created a Power BI workspace with Premium Per User capacity
Published report (Skincare With Copilot.pbix) to that workspace
Enabled Copilot for tenant from Admin Center
Confirmed workspace status: Premium Per User – Reserved, small semantic model
Opened report from workspace in Power BI Web
Still getting this message in Copilot panel:
“To use Copilot, save your report to a workspace with the right capacity and permissions.”
Troubleshooting Done:
Confirmed not using “My Workspace”
Dataset is showing correctly in workspace
Report and dataset published using Power BI Desktop
Reopened, republished, and cleared cache
Suspected issue with dataset format (import mode?) or Developer E5 rollout limitation
Questions:
Are imported datasets currently unsupported by Copilot, even in PPU workspaces?
Could this be due to regional rollout delays or Developer E5 subscription limitations?
Are there any known issues or steps required to trigger Copilot access for this setup?
