Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Creating and publishing a Power BI App.
Power BI Apps are designed for broad distribution of curated content to large audiences, including external users. They allow for centralized permission management, provide a simplified navigation experience, and ensure users only see approved content.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Exporting to PDF removes interactivity and is not a dynamic solution for ongoing reporting.
- C. Embedding in SharePoint can work but doesn't offer the same level of curated experience or centralized permission management as a Power BI App for a broad audience.
- D. Direct sharing from a workspace is suitable for smaller, internal teams but lacks the curated experience and ease of managing permissions for large, diverse audiences.
