Trying to figure out if there are embedded costs

[helliwellm]

Hi,

Apologies, there is a lot of discussion on this and I can't sift through it.

I want to create a report or dashboard and embed it into a web site for anyone to see.

How do I find out what the licensing cost is on this? if any

Power BI Desktop advertises 'Embed reports created in Power BI Desktop into existing apps or websites.'

Does this mean I can build a dashbord with Power BI Desktop and then embed it on a web page for anyone to see?

Appreciate help to clarify.

HI @helliwellm,

If your data not contains sensitive data, I think publish to web feature will suitable for your requirement.(free license, everyone can view embedded contents)

Publish to web from Power BI

Limitations

Publish to web is supported for the vast majority of data sources and reports in the Power BI service, however, the following are not currently supported or available with Publish to web:

1. Reports using row level security.
2. Reports using Analysis Services Tablular hosted on premises.
3. Reports shared to you directly or through an organizational content pack.
4. Reports in a group in which you are not an edit member.
5. "R" Visuals are not currently supported in Publish to web reports.

Thanks for reply,

So to confirm, you can use Power BI Desktop, then embed a link within a website for anyone to see the Power BI dashboard without additional licences?

Is that correct?

Thanks

Yes, after you publish to power bi service and share with publish to web feature, everyone can view shared contents by embed code.
