Can't create data agent

Dear All,

when i try to create a data agent in powerbi service, this message appears:

"It is not possible to create data agents in this workspace: an admin must change SKU type for organization's fabric capacity"

What should i do?

Hi @powerbricco 

 

The reason you can't use a data agent is because it uses copilot under the hoods and reason using a fabric trail capacity or copilot. Items and things that use items are part of the restrictions.

Hi @powerbricco ,

 

What is the capacity you are using? Are you on a Preview workspace?

Has you can see on this link some Data Agents are only supported on F SKUS anbd P SKUS not trial.

Dear @MFelix , I am using a trial version of Fabric :((((((((

Hi @powerbricco ,

 

If you are using a Trial License then you won't be able to access the Data Agents. Only option is to have a FSKU being the minimum F2.

Are you using a fabric trial ? 

you need to use a pay capacity for that

 

If you are using a paid capacity,  ask to your admin to enable the right settings for data agent:

You can find all the prerequisites under the folloiwng link

Dear @Cookistador @ , I am using a trial version of Fabric :((((((((

 

A paid license is a lot expensive?

hi @powerbricco 

it depends of the capacity size,  you can use a F2 capacity in pay as you go mode , it costs around 0.35$ per hour

 

You have to switch off your capacity once you are done, normally you have some free credits with azure, you can use this credit for your trial purpose 🙂
