PowerBI Pro

Here are some key points related to Power BI Pro:

1. Licensing and Access: Power BI Pro is a paid subscription service that allows individual users to access and use Power BI’s full range of features and capabilities. It’s designed for business professionals, analysts, and others who need to create, publish, and share reports and dashboards.

2. Features: With Power BI Pro, you get access to features like data visualization, data transformation and modeling, report authoring, and collaboration tools. You can create interactive reports and dashboards that connect to various data sources.

3. Sharing and Collaboration: Power BI Pro enables users to collaborate by sharing reports and dashboards with other Power BI Pro users. These shared items can be accessed through the Power BI service or mobile apps. Recipients of shared content do not need a Power BI Pro license to view reports, but they do need a Power BI Free or Premium Per User (PPU) license.

4. Data Refresh: Power BI Pro allows you to schedule data refresh for your reports, ensuring that the data is up-to-date. The frequency of data refresh depends on the specific plan and settings.

5. Publishing to the Power BI Service: With Power BI Pro, you can publish your reports and dashboards to the Power BI service (cloud-based platform), making them accessible to users with appropriate permissions. Power BI Pro users can also create and publish content directly in the Power BI service.

6. Limitations: Power BI Pro is a per-user license, which means each user needs their own Pro license to create and share content. It has certain limitations compared to Power BI Premium, which is designed for larger enterprises and offers greater scalability and dedicated resources.

7. Cost: Power BI Pro is available on a monthly or annual subscription basis, and the cost may vary depending on your region and any discounts or promotions available.
