    Hi Fern_21, 

     

    This is because the Fabric Capacity is in a different region then your Fabric Tenant. Fabric workspaces cannot be moved across regions. 

    You will not be able to use the shared PPU capacity unless you delete all Fabric items and re-develop.

    • Workspaces with non-Power BI Fabric items can't be moved between regions. You must delete all the non-Power BI Fabric items before moving a workspace to a different region. Once the workspace is moved, it can take up to 30 minutes before non-Power BI items can be created.

Hii Fern_21 

 

If you use a PPU license, the report must be published to a PPU-enabled workspace (not a shared Premium capacity workspace), so you don’t need special settings just move or create the workspace in PPU mode. All users who view or build the report must also have a PPU license; Pro users won’t be able to access it. Reports created with Report Builder work fine in PPU, but they consume PPU capacity, not shared Premium. The main thing to remember is that PPU content can’t be shared with non-PPU users unless you move it back to a Premium capacity.

      Hii Fern_21 

       

      No a Fabric capacity workspace (F64/F-SKU) cannot be converted to PPU. Fabric and PPU are different capacity types, and Microsoft doesn’t support switching a workspace between them. That’s why you’re seeing this error.
