A data analyst has created an interactive sales report in Power BI Desktop. The report needs to be shared with regional managers so they can view and interact with it online through their web browsers. Which Power BI component should the analyst use to publish and distribute the report?
The correct answer is Power BI Service. Power BI Service is the cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) platform designed for sharing, collaborating on, and distributing interactive reports and dashboards. Reports are typically developed in Power BI Desktop and then published to the Power BI Service for consumption by end-users via a web browser or mobile app.
Power BI Desktop is the free, local application used for authoring reports, performing data modeling, and creating visualizations; it is not the tool for web-based sharing and distribution.
Power BI Report Builder is a separate tool used for creating paginated reports, which are optimized for printing or sharing as static documents like PDFs, not for interactive online reports.
A Power BI Gateway acts as a secure bridge to allow the Power BI Service to access on-premises data sources for scheduled refreshes, but it is not the platform for publishing or sharing the reports themselves.
