Hi: I have a Power bi Dataset stored in a workspace that uses a premium capacity. I have a report using said power bi data set as its data source.
I published the report in a workspace that does not use a premium capacity. Will I get all the benefits of the data sets premium capactiy status with this configuration?
Hi @mjanecek
As far as I am aware, both the report and the semantic model need to reside in premium capacity to use a power BI free licence. The Power BI reports will not consume much capacity at all because they just pass the queries through to the semantic model.
