What are the main advantages of sharing a report as an app instead of keeping it as a report?
Solved! Go to Solution.
The single biggest advantage is that the users accessing the report via the app do not need to have Power BI Pro license.
1-Easy to create with no code as it does not require programming language to learn
2-Effective data and access , as app updates easily from the source file
3-App enhanced usability features, whatever changes we do in app they remain ingrained in an app that's always up to date with your source file
4-The people with whom you share the app can never access the source files hosted in your Cloud platform
5-Improved visibility,It retains the source files in your Cloud platform and only offers to third parties the reshaped information as a functional app.
