Hi,
One of our clients has their data stored in a Power BI Dataset within their organization. They are asking if we can access the data directly from this Power BI dataset for the analytics work we do for them.
This data will be refreshed regularly (weekly).
What are some of the best ways to access this data?
Thank you for the help in advance

Solved! Go to Solution.
So I went down this path just a few months ago. Not sure anything has changed. Basically, was able to share out the dataset in my customer tenant with my external account. Yay! But, in Power BI Desktop, trying to connect Live to the dataset, it would only show me the datasets in my own tenant and not the customer tenant. Talked with Microsoft support. Yep, that's currently a limitation. OK. Customer created an id in their tenant for me. Problem "solved"?? Grr... 🙂
Hi @Anonymous ,
Your client can invite you to be a guest user.
Distribute Power BI content to external guest users with Azure AD B2B
