Can you create reports in Power BI service?
In the navigation pane in the Power BI service, you can select the Create button that opens a page where you can select your data source. It's also accessible from the New report button on Home. Currently, we only support creating a report based on an existing dataset, or typing or pasting data directly in a table.

Box 3: No -
Can you share Power BI desktop report with others?
Basic Sharing for Dashboards and Reports
You can simply click on the Share button in the dashboard or report, and then share it with other users. By default when you share a Power BI dashboard with this method, then the report and the data set will be shared as well.

No Yes No Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service both allow you to connect to external resources such as databases, web services, and Excel files. So it is not true that you can connect to external resources with Power BI Desktop but not with the Power BI service. Power BI Desktop and the Power BI service both allow you to build and edit Power BI reports. This statement is true. You can distribute a Power BI Desktop report by publishing it to the Power BI service, which allows others to access the report online. You can also share the report by sending the PBIX file to others or by embedding the report on a website. So it is not true that the only way to distribute a Power BI Desktop report is by sending the PBIX file to others.

The only way to distribute a Power BI Desktop report is by sending the PBIX file to others. No: This statement is false. While you can distribute a Power BI Desktop report by sending the PBIX file, you can also publish the report to the Power BI Service, where it can be shared with others through dashboards, workspaces, and apps.
