Failed to preview report.
I am trying to develop paginated report. I have created shared dataset on Power BI Report Server. While working on the report using Report Builder, I am able to connect to shared dataset successfully, then I have added dataset but upon clicking the run button, I receive a "Failed to preview" error message.
Hi Anonymous ,
Ensure Report Builder uses your Windows credentials for the SharePoint data source and that you can access the URL directly in a browser. Running Report Builder as Administrator might also help.

Hi Anonymous ,
Thank you for your response.
Since the report works correctly on the Power BI Server but fails to preview in Report Builder, here are a few steps which might help you to resolve the error.
1.Check the Report Builder version you are using is fully compatible with the Power BI Report Server version.
2. Verify the data source configuration in Report Builder, as settings might differ between the server and local environment.
3. Confirm there are no network issues or firewall settings blocking the connection when previewing the report locally.
4. Simplify the report by reducing the data size to check if the preview works.
5. Check all necessary database drivers on your local machine are up to date.
