Hello @Saraswathi_k,

To deploy a Power BI project to the Service, make sure you’re following the correct steps:

1. Publish from Power BI Desktop

   • Open your .pbix file in Power BI Desktop.

   • Go to File → Publish → Publish to Power BI.

   • Sign in with the same account you use for the Service.

   • Choose the target workspace (must not be “My workspace” if you’re using Fabric features).

2. Verify workspace capacity

   • Check if the workspace is assigned to the right capacity (Pro, PPU, or Fabric capacity).

   • If your report uses Fabric artifacts (Lakehouse, Warehouse, etc.), the workspace must be on a Fabric capacity (trial or paid).

3. Check dataset refresh / credentials

   • After publishing, go to Power BI Service → Workspace → Dataset → Settings.

   • Configure Data source credentials.

   • Make sure the authentication type matches what you used locally (e.g., OAuth, SQL auth, etc.).

4. Common errors

   • Pro/PPU license missing: you need a Pro/PPU license or a Fabric capacity workspace.

   • Gateway required: if your data source is on-premises, configure a gateway in the Service.

   • Unsupported features: make sure preview features used in Desktop are also enabled in the Service.

Best regards,

Antoine
