v-cazheng-msft  Thanks!
I read the links you've send and it says that I NEED Azure Subscription.

So I DO need a license (subscription) to Azure besides Power BI license?

Or do I miss something?
Thanks!

Hi michaelsh 

To get a Azure subscription, you must have an Azure account. An Azure account is simply an identity in Azure AD or in a directory that Azure AD trusts. If you don't belong to such an organization, you can always create a subscription by using your Microsoft Account, which is trusted by Azure AD. Your Power BI account is a organizational trusted account of Azure AD.

You can sign in to the Azure portal with a Power BI account possessing administrator permissions and you can Find your Azure subscription. If you can see the ‘Subscription name’ like the following. Then you can create Storage accounts with this Power BI account. 

If you have any problem, please let us known.

 

Find your subscription with the admin account:

 

 

 

 

Create Storage account with this account
