Power Automate: Report requested for export is not on dedicated capacity
Hello,
I'm new user of PBI and I'm trying to send a PDF of my PBI report automacticly by email on using Power Automate (Process).
Unfortunatly, after many tests, I have the same erreur "Report requested for export is not on dedicated capacity".
Anyone can help me here pls?
What do I need to do for make it work?
PS: I've a Pro license of PBI
Thank you
Anonymous, You cant use this functionality with a Power BI Pro License. You need a Power BI premium license to make this work (full premium, not premium per user).
Once you get the license, you will need to create a Premium Workspace and publish the report there. Then you will be able to make it work.

This is very disppointing from MS, limiting this function to full premium users is total BS.
Standard procedure from them. It's the bain of my career

I have a bunch of users and senior executives who believe they can run a full Power BI deployment on free license because of wht the Microsoft marketing tells them. And I'm the one who has to constantly explain to them that they can't do anything after I've spent an hour discovering they can't do anything with the set up they have that Microsoft wrongly told them they can do everything with.

Unbelievable tbh. What's the point in PPU then?
You mean Premium Capacity? This is ridiculous
WOW, love how the MS reps told us we could do this without Premium. This should be avilable to PRO users. What a disgusting business practice. Ha, had to edit my response because they didn't like the word "Mono" + "poly". LOLOLOL, not shocked, way to scum it up.
Here is my work around, i subscript the report and it will send it (full pdf) to me daily,
then, i create a workflow to trigger "when email arrive",
check the subject and save the attachement to sharepoint or email it to someone else.
is there another way to achieve the same outcome?
Yes, there is, I often schedule it to email with specific subject (I put special characters in subject to ensure not matching with other emails) then save the attachment to SharePoint, delete the email all using Power Automate. Hope this helps!
Do you using Power BI PRO?
