Creating a Workspace for existing Group

When i create a workspace, it creates a new Group.  I can then add members and do all the normal things with that group that I would normally do.

 

On the flipside, if I already have a group with hundreds of members and i want to create a Workspace for that group, is there a way i can link the existing group to PowerBI such that a new Workspace appears for it?

    Ok i think i know what i was doing wrong.  I think I created my 'Test Group' from inside SharePoint Online.  It sent me the Welcome email and from here it seemed to act as a normal group.  This time i created it from within 'People' on Office 365 and everything worked perfectly!

    Anonymous From my experiance, and the documentation here, it doesn't matter where you create the Group. If you already have an existing Group it should show up as a workspace without any additional work on your end.

      I tried this myself yesterday before posting.  I created a workspace as a test and got the group.  I then created a 2nd group through office 365 but no workspace was created.  This lead me to believe either i've missed a step or that it might not work that way.  Reading your response it must mean i've missed a step, but i have no idea what that step might be?

        Hi Anonymous,

         

        Can you share some detail operation steps? I test on my side and it works well.

         

        In addition, please make sure you create a office 365 group, current security group seems not support.
