Office 365: Most Compatible Version?

Hi Gang, I'm looking for the most compatible Office 365 version with Power BI. Is there a specific version or is it 'all good'? Cheers, ~Matthew

Hi Octavarian,

 

Currently, the Power BI for Office 365 experience has been deprecated. And based on my research, there is no Office 365 edition limitation when using Office 365 to administrate the Power BI. See: Administering Power BI in your organization.

 

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

 

Best Regards,

Hi Qiuyun Yu,

 

Thankyou for your assistance, deprecated in what way? :) Not supported any longer? 

 

I notice that Microsoft's Technet states that PowerBI is included withing the Office 365 Enterprise E5 suite:

Can you think of a reason as to why Office 365 might not function with a specific 365 edition? 

 

Thanks!

Matthew

    Hi Octavarian,

     

    From the article you mentioned, It's clear that "Power BI and Power BI for Office 365 are different products. Power BI for Office 365 is a version 1 service and has been deprecated. "

     

    And from this article, we can see that Power BI is available in Office 365 Enterprise E5 version. I'm not able to think of the reason, but the issue can be related to Office 365 product itself. Maybe Office 365 experts can help you understand it. You can post a thread in Office 365 to get dedicated support: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice?auth=1.
