Power Query and BI

Question

Created an Excel file of data to share with other departments using Power Query and BI added some interactive pieces to it. Users are getting errors when trying to open it. Do they have to have BI loaded on their machines to use this or is there a way around it?

Thanks,

It might be a good idea if you share the error message(s) you are seeing.
