Adding report links to the Power BI apps by adding sections

I am trying to publish a Power BI app by creating a Section and adding new links to include tabs from different reports.

It works fine when I choose "Open in new tab. But when I choose "Open in Content Area", I get the following errorError.png

Hi @vanessa ,

 

To create or update an app, you need a Power BI Pro license. For app consumers, there are two options.

  • Option 1 The workspace for this app is not in a Power BI Premium capacity: All business users need Power BI Pro licenses to view your app.
  • Option 2 The workspace for this app is in a Power BI Premium capacity: Business users without Power BI Pro licenses in your organization can view app content. However, they can't copy the reports, or create reports based on the underlying datasets. Read What is Power BI Premium? for details.

 

You can learn more: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-create-distribute-apps.

 

Best Regards,

Amy
