Advocate IIPublishing from desktop application to group workspace
Hope this gets done soon, groups are by far the most disappointing feature that isn't fully baked in PowerBI. We need to not only be able to publish from the Desktop but move reports between groups. How this was missed form product development is very puzzling. Also, SSAS Tabular data connections do not work in groups, so it pretty much makes the whole feature set impossible to use for all of my use cases.
Advocate IIHey CyrusOC,
As far as publishing to groups goes, I've been working around this by publishing to my personal workspace on powerbi.com, then creating a content pack to share between various groups- you should have been given a group e-mail when you created your group workspace (e.g. [email protected]). When you push an update through from your desktop application, a notification should pop up on your dashboard asking you to update your content pack.
This still doesn't fix the issue of multiple people from that group not being able to download and publish to a workspace from their desktop application.
I feel as though there should be a check-in, check-out system like that in Sharepoint/365 for reports in Power BI as well...
Hope this helps.
Advocate II'd rather it work as advertised, I can't promote a work around as a soltuion.
