Hi,
I'm trying to give my users the option to use "Analyse in Excel" for a shared dataset. However, even if I assign build rights on the shared dataset (which is in another workspace) to the users, the "Analyse in Excel"-option remains greyed out. Is there a way to make the option available? Which permissions should I set for users to able to analyse a shared dataset in Excel through the app?
In other apps, where the reports are build on a dataset that is in the app, the user can use "Analyse in Excel". The only difference in permissions here is that the user has the App & Build permissions, while on the shared dataset this is Read & Build.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Eva

Hi @E__,
AFAIK, these features are in preview so they may not fully compatible with all GA features.
In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you confirm if this issue only appears on 'shared dataset' and 'build' permission users. If this is a case, please direct publish your report to correspond workspace instead of use preview 'sharing dataset' feature.
In addition, you can also report this to power bi team for fixing the integration issue between 'analyze in excel' and new preview features.

@GilbertQ I agree that would also work. But since we are a large organisation, it is not feasible for us to have to provide ODC-files to each user that wants to access the dataset in Excel. That's why we want to provide the access through the app.
