power bi report server Connection error

awei — Sat, 03 Apr 2021 13:01:17 GMT

Normal browser access，Browser access address：http://desktop-6hmnoae/reports/

Server address isn't valid

A server with the specified hostname could not be found.

Verify the address is a SQL Server 2016 Reporting Service address and try again.

Why the error says that is tring to connect to SQL Server 2016 Reporting Service?

We do not have SQL Server 2016 Reporting Service, only Power BI Report Server (on-premises)

Our setup is

Windows 10

SQL Server 2019 dev.

Power BI Report server (Not SQL Server Reporting Service !)

Is Power BI connects only to SQL Server Reporting Service?

Hi awei ,

If you use the Power BI Report Server you need the corresponding Desktop. Here you can download the actual Version January 2021: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55329

The version from the Mircosoft Store is only the Cloud Desktop 😉

Best,

Kathrin

Thank you for your answer。I use the RS version，The browser can access the uploaded report normally。

I want to use Power bi in win10 App store ， not Power bi desktop ，Power bi can show the report like PPT，Power bi can full screen and automatically switch pages 。

My problem is that I can't connect to the power bi report server ，Prompt server address error。
