PowerBI Report now requiring Premium Capacity
In a workspace that has the 'Pro' License mode, a report was previously enabled and visible, both in the PowerBI portal as well as when embedded. However, it is no longer enabled, and when accessed via the portal, shows the error,
" Power BI Premium is required
The dataset for this report is backed by premium files storage and can only be loaded on a Premium capacity. Go to Workspace settings and move the workspace to a Premium capacity to re-enable the report."
My question regarding the same are:
- What are the reasons for this breaking change? (The semantic model only has connection Azure Data Explorer)
- What is the impact of changing to a Premium Capacity for the workspace? On basis of my investigation, all previous users who could view the reports present in the workspace under the 'Pro' license would remain unaffected, and the above mentioned report would be re-enabled.
- What changes can be made to enable the report if moving the workspace to Premium capacity is not an option.
Hi ZIre acurwood , for my use case, I had to get rid of any resources that were Fabric resources (Such as Dataflow Gen2, Data Warehouse, etc.) and then change the license in my Workspace to Premium Per User. This got rid of the error. Alternatively, as a short term fix (Because Trial License is only for a limited period of time), we changed the License to Trial, and the reports started to work.
(Pro License does not support some datasets that are backed by Premium Capacities). I unfortunately do not have more to share with you, let me know if this helps.

Hi Anonymous
When you are using power bi embedded, this needs to be backed by a capacity. That is why it is no longer working because it appears to be that this is now being strictly enforced. You would need to purchase an Azure or EM an A SKU and assign that to your workspace to get it working again for Power BI embedded.

Can you show the Workspace settings and see if it is still set to someting else?

All connected to SQL server, so there should be no reason for the published report not to work. I will review if it is the admin account scheduled to refresh the report that is on the wrong licence.

Hello, one of our customers are seeing this issue on a particular report, the data source being an excel file from onedrive. Nothing changed on their end. Did anyone resolve this issue?
Hello, yes the issue was triggered because of the end of the Fabric free trial period. If you delete the report from the reporting service and republish it under your normal licence, this should work again.
