Hi nickwild 

 

There was some great suggestions by Miguel. What I also typically recommend to customers is it is very painful when doing cross tenant sharing and authentication and ideally it solves a lot of issues and headaches if you have accounts in the tenant where the semantic models are stored. Just some friendly advice to avoid a whole lot of headaches and wasted time.

    Thanks for your reply GilbertQ yes I quite agree and that was what we were trying to resolve by transferring over the reports in our account to the clients without having to re-athour them (hence trying to log on to the other tenant with PowerBI desktop).

    We do not want the volume of clientn licenses in our account for billing purposes so just trying to find a working solution. We may have fixed it, but stil not quite sure yet 😊

    Thanks for your advice it is much appreciated
