Solved! The reason why you are getting that error is because you sent a dashboard with "Pro" content to someone who does not have a "Pro" license. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-power-bi-pro-content-what-is-it/

You can’t share dashboards that contain Power BI Pro content with external users who have a Power BI Pro trial license. They need regular Power BI Pro licenses to access those dashboards. What is Power BI Pro content?
As to the error, what tiles are in that dashboard? The errors seems specific for UPN mismatching when connecting to SQL Server Analysis Service.
I have tiles from a SQL Server data source. Please see the images below. I have this data source setup as SQL Server. I read the article on "Mapping the UPN". There is nothing to map a UPN in powerbi.com.
