Dashboard & pro license issue!

[Anonymous]

Hey guys,

So I basically built an entire Power BI report as a pioneer in my department. However, I just wanted others to see it and filter the data they need in the dashboard. 

My issues are:

1 - I have some slices/searches in the report which I wanted to use to make it such as a consultation tool for them. Meaning that when they want to know any information about deliveries they just place the delivery number or other references and the report would retrieve all the info. It works perfectly for me on my PBI report but Dashboards don't allow me to pin the slicers....

2 - I am the only one with a pro license. Is not is possible to share with others and they just open a report somehow to check it? They don't use Power BI so not even the application my team has.

Below a bit of my dashboard....

Does anyone have a clue on what I could do to not have spent all my effort in vain? 😞

Thank you in advance.

hi, @Anonymous 

1. Currently, individual slicer can't be pinned to dashboard, see limitations in this article.

Power BI slicers have the following limitations:

• Slicers cannot be pinned to a dashboard.

Slicer can work when you pin live page to dashboard.

2. 

For normal, if you want to share a private report to others, you and others both need the Pro license.
If you have purchased Premium and add your content to Premium, then when you share the content, the receiver could be free user.

Another way, you could publish report to web, then anyone could access it.

But When you use Publish to web, the report or visual you publish can be viewed by anyone on the Internet. There is no authentication used when viewing these reports. Only use Publish to web with reports and data that the anyone on the Internet (unauthenticated members of the public) should be able to see. This includes detail level data that is aggregated in your reports. Before publishing this report, ensure you have the right to share the data and visualizations publicly. Do not publish confidential or proprietary information. If in doubt, check your organization's policies before publishing.
