    Hi,
    in the Demo Rishi was showing how the Insights tab has Power BI embedded within Vena, and that we should all have access to this.
    Can you please confirm my understanding of this, and if correct, how to enable this? I currently only have the older Dashboarding feature, and can't find anything related to Power BI. Thanks!

    Hi Roger!

    Nice to meet you and thank you for joining Excelerate =SUM(it) this week and participating in the Forum 🌱. We suggest reaching out to your Customer Success Manager to learn more about how to get Power BI activated.

    Hope that helps!

    We have to pay extra? :((( How much is it?

    The sessions made it sound as if Power BI was embedded at no extra charge.

    Also heard it was extra from a CSM a month ago

    Even though the materials I've seen so far claim that we get Power BI access as part of Vena.

    According to the documentation HERE, it should not require an extra license.

    Hi all -
    I'm glad that everyone found value from the Power BI Embedded session during the conference last week. Yes, there is an ARR cost for the ability to have Power BI embedded in Vena. However with this add-on all your existing Vena users will have access to the functionality. There is no additional user licenses required to use it, and also it does not require any MSFT Power BI licensing on your side.
    I hope this clarifies this. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    Thank you,
    Rishi Grover

    We are looking more into the Power BI Embedded and were curious about this "ARR" cost to have it with Vena. Is this dependent upon several variables or a specific pricing structure?


    Thanks in advance for the help,

    Hi Benjamin -
    Thanks for the question. This is a flat annual ARR for Power BI Embedded in Vena. All existing and new Vena users will be able to access embedded Power BI reports at no per user cost. Also with the annual ARR, it includes our desktop Power BI connector as well so you can connect Vena data to any existing Power BI report you may have.

    Hope this helps!

    Rishi
