How to get Fabric on PowerBi P1
Greg_Deckler So a couple of interesting things have happened since my last response...
1. Discovered a work around where if you create a Trial Fabric Capacity/License, reassign your workspace to that trial, then reassign it back to the original P1 that didn't allow fabric workloads, then the fabric workloads will now work.
2. Our P1 wasn't supporting Fabric Workloads because it is in a region that doesn't support fabric yet (CentralUS). Error messaging around this reason should really be more obvious - if it had I wouldn't have ended up on this wild goose chase.
3. It's interesting that the workaround in step 1 works - either behind the scenes the workspace is still using the trial capacity even though it shows as using the P1 or somehow I've discovered a back-door to enabling fabric in a region that doesn't support it.
