A tremendous amount of work has gone into the report that we've created so far, from importing the data to creating the data model and calculations, to designing and formatting report pages. The report is looking good, but the value of the report is minimal if only a single individual and the report author have access to it. It is therefore imperative that the report is shared with other members of the organization. This chapter will familiarize you with the Power BI service and demonstrate how to publish your finalized report to the Service and share it with others.

• Getting an account
• Introducing the Service
• Publishing and sharing
