What is the best way to share PBI reports when other users won't download PBI?

[Anonymous]

So I am a marketing analyst for a manufacturing company and I have recently been making a bunch of dashboards for our team in Powerbi. I have a pro license and want to share my work with the rest of the team. What is the best way to do this?

Ideally we would all have pro license or the Enterprise solution but I can't justify the cost to the director for a tool other people will just be using to look at reports. I can't host on the web since the data is sensitive. My inellegant solution is to just upload the dashboards to SharePoint and have the users download them but then all sorts of versions will get out there and who knows what will happen next.

The ability to display a dashboard on a SharePoint page is awesome but again, everyone needs a pro license just to view the report.

What is the best way to do this? I can get them on board with downloading the free version but can't get them to buy licenses for everyone.

@Anonymous,

To show the report to not Power BI Pro people you can either download a report as PBIX or PowerPoint either embed this report into a web page (not Publish to Web, I mean Power BI Embedding, which is secure). See instruction - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/integrate-report, and sample solution from Microsoft - https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/v2-demo/index.html#.

Thanks. So I have explored a few different routes. I have embedded it into sharepoint which works well for my few other colleagues with Pro accounts and I have exported to powerpoint a number of times. Exporting to powerpoint seems to be the best option but I am still looking for a way to share and retain filtering functionality. 

My next idea is to just build my reports off of reports hosted in a network drive and just putting the files up for download on Sharepoint and making my colleagues download the free version... but that is not as elegant as the sharepoint solution.

Thanks for the help!!
