Hi Brani​ ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum, Below are the few points which can resolve your issue. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

Based on Microsoft documentation, Python visuals are not supported in Power BI Report Server (PBIRS). Therefore, there is no PBIRS tenant setting or configuration available to enable Python visuals. The "R and Python visuals" setting in the Power BI/Fabric Admin Portal applies to the Power BI Service and does not apply to Power BI Report Server.

Microsoft's Compare Power BI Report Server and Power BI Service documentation explicitly lists Python scripts and visuals as unsupported in Power BI Report Server. Therefore, the error you are seeing is expected behavior and is not related to a missing PBIRS configuration.

As a workaround, you would need to replace the Python visual with a visual supported by PBIRS, or host the report in Power BI Service if Python visuals are required.

Thanks,

Chaithanya.
