difference between power bi premium per user and power bi premium P1 (for Copilot)

Hi,

 

On the top tight corner of my Power BI Service report is a "Copilot" button:

I click on this button, but it gives the following error:

The "View workspace requirements" link goes to:

Copilot admin settings (preview) - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

 

I enabled the 2 settings and waited bout about 30 minutes for the changes to take into effect:

Enable CoPilot and Azure OpenAI Service.JPG

 

But when I clicked on the "CoPilot" button again, I get the same error message. I did some investigation and it appears it may be because I don't have the appropriate capacity. Currently I have the "Power BI Premium per user" license. I was wondering what is the difference between this license and "power bi premium P1"? Is there a minimum license I need in order to use CoPilot for Power BI or is there another setting I need to change?

 

Sincerely,

 

Jason

Hi @jasonyeung87 

Copilot currently is only supported for Premium Capacities or F64 and above. Unfortunately not for PPU.

Hi @aj1973 , 
Is there any update on this?
Because on the Pricing Plans. It says that Copilot in Fabric is included for PPU:

Power BI: Pricing Plan | Microsoft Power Platform

 

This is very confusing if it isn't available with PPU.

Hi @aj1973 ,

Thanks for the info.
