Copilot landed me here! My search was "What is the best way to distribute a powerbi report so that it is read only?" and this video was the ONLY one included and allowed viewing from within copilot itself. I watched the video and it described exactly what I wanted to do - plus a lot more ways I can distribute it also. Nice job and I wanted you to know Microsoft AI is giving you some hits if you didn't know already.
Woah! Thats super cool! Thanks for letting me know! :) Hopefully the video helped get you what you were looking for. That makes me want to create and post more videos if there are so few out there to help with these things. Thanks again for this comment, thats really cool to hear.
Thanks for the video. There is one question I have. Does this method allow the user to refresh the data or is there another process we must go through to ensure users have the current data?
Glad you found it helpful! Users would be able to kick off a manual dataset refresh directly through the workspace - however, these users would require at least the Contributor role on the workspace. Another way users can be sure when the data in the reports was last refreshed would be to include a date/time the dataset was last refreshed within all of the reporting you published (I'll be getting back into creating PBI YT videos shortly and will make one on how to create this field and include it in your reports) or, if youre connecting to a data source that allows for a DirectQuery connection, you can set tables to DirectQuery and the reports data will always be live. This could/will negatively impact the load time of reports if the model/DAX are inefficient. Hope this helps!

The best power bi lecture. I learnt alot within a short periof
This is great! Thank you so much, I was having trouble trying to share reports with people who did not have a power bi account.
Glad to hear the video taught you something useful! Thank you :)
@@Learn-PowerBI keep up the great content!

Wow... Thank you for the knowledge transfer
It would be nice to have written instructions in the description of the video.
