Add PowerBI Pro to an Office 365 tenant

 

PowerBI itself comes into multiple flavors, and also carrying a few types of configuration along with it. Especially with Office 365.

In this blog post, we’ll look at adding (linking) PowerBI Pro to an Office 365 tenant, but we should also go through a bit of description.

PowerBI flavors

As mentioned previously, PowerBI options and features vary depending on the version we choose: PowerBI free, PowerBI Pro, and PowerBI Premium.

Microsoft also offers a free version of PowerBI Desktop for those more at ease using desktop apps.

Comparison
For features comparison, go the PowerBI free vs. PowerBI Pro page.

Connect to Office 365

Now let’s get started on how to add this service to our Office 365 subscription!

First thing we should do in order to go faster, is to log into our Office 365 tenant. Open your browser, and log in to your tenant.

Add PowerBI Pro

On another tab, navigate to PowerBI Pro subscription trial. Because we are already signed in, we can add the service to our account.
