Ok thanks, just to clarify then, if I wanted to display a report (using ssas) on an intranet site that we would want every employee to be able to view we would need a power bi pro license for each employee and they would all need access to analysis services?

 

Just seems a bit costly, say if we have 500 employees and we just want the majority of them to view one report.

 

Thanks

Yes, that could get a bit costly for One Dashboard. However you should look at getting the same created using the power BI free feature . You will not be able to use the live connector but you can import data in PBI desktop from SSAS and schedule the refresh for the same once a day .

    Yep good idea, could I use the publish to web using that method? Or would it mean signing up 500 Power BI free accounts?

     

    Thanks
