    Hey barakb321 

     

    i assuume that you are referring to this passage: " ... Analyzing Power BI data in Excel requires that the dataset be in a Power BI Premium workspace or that you have a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license ..."

    Please be aware, that of the word OR. This passage says that the feature Analyzing Power BI data in Excel requires licensing, this licensing can happen in bulk by having a Premium Per Capacity license or on a per user license having a PRO licence or a Premium Per User license.

     

    Hopefully, this helps to clarify what is needed. A license is needed not a Premium workspace.

     

    Regards,

    Tom
