"Business Intelligence Center" site template is missing when creating a new online sub-site

I am working on migrating an on-premises sharepoint 2010 site collection to sharepoint online. now the on-premises 2010 site collection contain a sub-site of type "Business Intelligent" , so i was checking if i can create such as site template inside sharepoint online. now i find this link which mentioned that this should be possible @ Create A Business Intelligence Center Site Collection In Office 365 (SharePoint Online Site) . but in our case when i tried to create a new sub-site inside our online root site collection (which is of type classic team site), i did not find any site template for BI, here is the list we got:-

so i am not sure how we can create  a new sharepoint online sub-site that should replace the on-premises sub-site which is of type BI?

  • john john it depends on the parent  site template. Try creating the parent site using a classic Team site Template.  You should be able to see the BIC template

    john john do you have the Feature "SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features" enabled on your site? It's a Site Collection Feature which should be enabled to get this template available.

        john john that's weird, I was able to reproduce on my environment by deactivating the Feature after which the site template wasn't listed anymore. After reactivation the template was listed again. Another possibility: are Publishing Features ("SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" and "SharePoint Server Publishing") enabled for your site? In that case it might be that the site template is not in the list of allowed site templates for creating subsites:
