Creating a Workspace for existing Group
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!
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.

Anonymous Thanks for the update! Glad you got it working.
I have the same issue at the moment - how do you mean from the "People" part of Office 365?
May have solved my own issue - it seems that when you create a Group in O365, you are the Owner but not added as a Member. In order for PBI to add it is a workspace automatically - it appears it needs one member in the group - it then takes about 15 mins to synch and appear in PBI once you add that member - the member can be the same as the owner.
When you add a Team in Teams and it creates a group - the member is auto added that created the group and therefore appears in PBI after a wait for synching, this was confusing me as to why a group added in Teams appears in PBI but not a group adde in O365.
Hope that helps someone.
