Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) gives individual users access to all Power BI Premium features without needing to purchase a dedicated Premium capacity. It is the right choice for power users and analysts who need to work with large datasets, build paginated reports, use advanced AI features, or distribute content to colleagues without requiring every viewer to have a Pro licence.
What’s Included — Everything in Power BI Pro, Plus:
- Large dataset storage — Datasets up to 400 GB (vs. 1 GB in Pro). Store and query massive datasets directly in the Power BI service with incremental refresh.
- Paginated reports (Power BI Report Builder) — Pixel-perfect, print-ready reports designed for operational reporting — invoices, statements, labels, and multi-page documents. Export to PDF, Excel, Word, or PowerPoint.
- Advanced AI features — Azure Machine Learning integration (score data directly in Power BI), AutoML (train ML models on your data in-browser), and Cognitive Services (text analytics, image tagging, key phrase extraction).
- XMLA endpoint (read/write) — Connect external tools (SQL Server Management Studio, Tabular Editor, DAX Studio) directly to Power BI datasets for advanced modelling, querying, and management.
- Deployment pipelines — Promote content through Development → Test → Production environments with a visual pipeline — essential for teams managing multiple versions of reports and dashboards.
- Dataflows enhanced compute — Use premium compute engine for faster, more powerful Power Query transformations on large data volumes.
- Share with free users — Premium Per User licences allow you to share reports with colleagues who have only a free Power BI account (within the same PPU workspace).
- Metrics and scorecards — Track KPIs and goals across your organisation with Power BI Goals, with full drill-down into underlying reports.
Limits
- Dataset size: 400 GB per dataset
- Scheduled refresh: 48 times per day
Ideal For
Senior analysts, data engineers, and BI developers who need more than Power BI Pro provides. Also ideal for organisations that want to share Premium-level content without the cost of a full Premium capacity (P1/P2/P3 node), and teams publishing operational paginated reports alongside interactive dashboards.
