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
Solved! Go to Solution.
@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.
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.
The PDF option is greyed out for PRO license, so user can't even email to self
The full PDF subscription is greyed out for Premium per user license, too. Really disappointed with that.
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
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?

Unbelievable tbh. What's the point in PPU then?
Seriously for crying out loud. 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.
