Cannot Post from Power BI Desktop
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.
Hm. I am a little confused here.
I have created a report in Power BI Desktop, and want to publish it. When do I use the "Get Data functionality" ?
