- Publishing to the Power BI Service from Desktop
- Setting rights and roles securely per workspace
- Keeping datasets up to date with scheduled refresh
- Dashboards that people actually use
- Practical exercises with your own data or sample data
You work a lot in Power BI Desktop, but sharing and managing reports via the Power BI Service is still unfamiliar territory. In this course you bring the two together and tackle the cloud side in a structured way.
Description
The Power BI Service is where reports come together. This is where you publish your work, arrange who may see what and keep versions under control. In this course you learn how to use the Service as a central working environment alongside Desktop.
You will practise publishing from OneDrive and SharePoint, building dashboards that people actually use, and managing datasets with scheduled refresh. You set up workspaces with roles and contacts, so that collaboration runs smoothly.
The content adapts to your working practice. You work with recognisable examples or your own files and there is plenty of room for questions. That way you can move forward in the cloud with confidence.
Topics
- The role of the Power BI Service alongside Desktop in your workflow
- Publishing from OneDrive, SharePoint and Desktop
- Reports in the Service: bookmarks, spotlight, comments and favourites
- Sharing and exporting: PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, QR code and embedding
- Building dashboards from reports or individual visuals
- Managing tiles, mobile layout and sharing via a video meeting
- Publishing datasets, lineage view and scheduled refresh
- Using a gateway for on-premises sources
- Creating and editing reports in the Service, including DAX online
- Setting up workspaces: roles, contacts and permissions
- Paginated reports in the Service
Result
After this course you will publish reports independently in the Power BI Service and share them with the right people. You set permissions and roles correctly, keep workspaces well organised and build dashboards that suit your audience. You manage datasets with scheduled refresh, so that information always stays up to date. By working centrally, you avoid separate file versions floating around.
Target audience
This course is intended for anyone who works with Power BI Desktop and wants to publish, share and manage reports online. Think of analysts, controllers, policy advisers, business intelligence specialists and data managers who want to make the move to the cloud. Basic knowledge of Power BI Desktop is required. Not sure about your starting level? Get in touch for advice.
Teaching method
You learn in a practical way: short explanations followed by hands-on practice in the online environment. You apply the material to recognisable situations and work with your own data or practice files. Groups remain small, so there is room for personal guidance and questions from your own working practice.
Prior knowledge
You have experience with Power BI Desktop and know how to build a report. No experience with the Service is required.

In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.

Can I also take the Power BI Online course in-company?
Yes, an in-company version is possible and is often efficient if several colleagues want to take the course. We tailor the objectives, level and examples to your own work and data. Feel free to request a proposal.
Can the Power BI Online course also be taken in English?
The course is given in Dutch by default and the trainer speaks English. With at least three registrations we can deliver the course entirely in English. English course materials are available.
Is Power BI Online free to use?
A free Power BI account is possible for personal use. As soon as you want to share reports with colleagues or collaborate in workspaces, you need at least a Power BI Pro licence. You arrange the licence via your own Microsoft environment.
How do I publish a report from OneDrive or SharePoint?
You save your file in OneDrive or a SharePoint folder and publish from there to the Power BI Service. You can apply changes to the source and have them refreshed automatically, so the report in the Service always shows the current figures.
How do I keep my Power BI data up to date automatically?
In the Power BI Service you enable scheduled refresh for your dataset. You specify how often and at which times the data should be refreshed. For sources behind a corporate network you use a gateway, which provides a secure connection between the source and the Service.
Can I export reports or embed them in a website?
Yes. From the Service you export to PDF, Excel or PowerPoint. Embedding in an internal site is possible via an embed code, and you can also generate a QR code for mobile use. Sharing by email or via a Teams channel is part of it too.
What is the difference between a workspace and a dashboard in Power BI?
A workspace is the collaboration environment in the Power BI Service in which you bundle reports, datasets and dashboards and assign roles and permissions. A dashboard is a visual summary on a single page, built up from tiles from one or more reports. Workspaces arrange collaboration, dashboards provide a quick overview.
