Cannot Post from Power BI Desktop
I have already created reports and dashboards with the online Power BI service. Just today, I downloaded Power BI Desktop, made a quick report, and attempted to post it to my Power BI site. It asks...
go to http://app.powerbi.com and then after you log in you will see a yellow Get Data box on the lower left hand side.. Click that and then follow the prompts to pick your PBIX file and upload it.
"Get Data" is found on the power bi site. You can pull your pbix file from there. It will be under "Files", "Local File"
did you try posting your model using Get Data functionality from the service itself?
you don't have to use Publish functionality of the Designer to deploy your model to the service.
