How to Publish Power BI Reports?
Before we share Power BI reports with the end-users, we first need to "Publish" the desktop version report to the Power BI Services account.
To publish the report, follow the below steps.
Step 1: Open the report which is prepared in Power BI Desktop.
Step 2: After opening the dashboard, go to the "Home" tab and click on the "Publish" option.
Step 3: Log in to Power BI Service Account
If you have already logged into the Power BI account, it will not ask you to log in. Otherwise, you must log in to the Power BI service account with your registered email ID.
Step 4: Select the destination file and click on “Select.”
It will take some time to upload. When the report is published to Power BI services, we will get the below confirmation message.
Click on “Got it” to close this window.
Advantage and Disadvantages of Sharing Method
- Advantages: This is the most common way of sharing the dashboard or report with the end-users. It is one of the easy and quick ways to distribute the report to multiple users.
- Disadvantages: Although this is a simple method, it has its limitations. With this method, we cannot specify edit access to end-users. It is not a good practice because if the dashboard building is a team environment where one guy has a specific set of tasks, and other guys do a different set of tasks, then it becomes just paper to read. One more disadvantage is we cannot share multiple reports, and dashboards are time.
Things to Remember
- It is the basic sharing method.
- Workspace and the Power BI app are other ways of sharing reports and dashboards.
