Helper VPower Premium Per User Workspace Share to Premium Workspace
Hi powerbihelp87,
You're right, the capacity impact depends on where the semantic model (dataset) resides, not just where the report is stored. Just copying a report to Premium does NOT move the workload. The dataset's location determines where processing happens.
When you copy a report from a PPU workspace to a Premium workspace, the report itself is transferred, but the dataset (semantic model) remains in its original PPU workspace unless you also transfer the dataset explicitly. This means the query workload (and refresh impact) remains in PPU, not in Premium.
Please go through the following links to get a better understanding of PPU and Premium licenses.

powerbihelp87hi I am still confused if a semantic model lives in PPU workspace and we take a copy into a Premium workspace isnt the workload in PPU not Premium?
For example if I take a report copy it into my workspace from PPU, isnt the refresh and capacity impact on PPU?
please see my diagram.
if I take a report in my PPU workspace and simply copy over to my Premium workspace isnt the capacity that is being utilized PPU since semantic model resides there

thank you this helps, I was going to test this out since we just upgraded to P2 and were going to purchase PPU for some users to build and share in Premium

so I tested it out and I cant get it to work.
created dataset in PPU--- created report in premium based off of PPU dataset. users cannot view data due to no access to underlying data?
