    Which Power BI Desktop version you are using! There is a separate PBI Desktop for Report Server, Hopy you know that?!

      I am using PowerBI for reporting server. I downloaded it from the Reporting Server Web UI. If it makes a difference the server is located on a sub-domain: bpi.[DOMAIN].com

    Hi LukaP 

     

    You need to specify the report server URL in this form: 

    http(s)://<reportserver>/reports 

     

    what does your URL look like? 

    make sure to not add "/browse" in the end 

     

    Thanks,

    Alexandra
