Publish Your PowerBI Report to Web.
Publishing your PowerBI report to the web can significantly enhance your data sharing capabilities. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring your reports reach a wider audience with professionalism and clarity.
Step 1: Prepare Your Report in PowerBI Desktop
Open PowerBI Desktop: Start with a blank canvas in PowerBI Desktop. Add your data by creating a table with relevant fields such as person, location, date, ad spend, impressions, and units sold. This will form the basis of your report.
Save Your Report: Once your data is set up, save your report. You can publish it to your workspace by clicking the publish button.
Step 2: Publish to PowerBI Service
Access PowerBI Service: After publishing, navigate to PowerBI Service at powerbi.com. Refresh your workspace to see your newly published report.
Locate Your Report: Find your report in your workspace. Click on it to open and review the data.
Step 3: Enable Publish to Web
Check Admin Settings: If the option to publish to the web is missing, it may be disabled by your admin. As an admin, go to the Office Admin Center, navigate to the PowerBI Admin Center, and find the tenant settings. Enable the "publish to the web" option.
Apply Changes: After enabling, it may take up to 15 minutes for the changes to take effect.
Step 4: Publish Your Report
Return to Your Report: After the settings have been updated, go back to your report in PowerBI Service.
Publish to Web: Click on the "File" menu, then select "Embed report" and finally "Publish to web." A warning will appear, informing you that anyone with the URL can access your data. Ensure this aligns with your company policies before proceeding.
Get the Link: Once you confirm, you’ll receive a unique URL for your report. Copy this link to share it with colleagues or embed it in a website.
Publishing your PowerBI report to the web is a straightforward process that enhances your data storytelling capabilities. By following these steps, you can ensure your reports are accessible to anyone with the URL, making collaboration and sharing insights easier than ever.
