Power report server schedule refresh for SharePoint as data source

Vnagireddy0485 — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 06:34:18 GMT

For one of the dashboarda in power BI report server, I am using SharePoint as the data source. To set up the scheduled refresh, could you please confirm what credentials are required? Currently, I am using my user account (not an anonymous account), and I have full access to the SharePoint folder as well as Power BI Report Server

Hi Vnagireddy0485,

Is this an on prem sharepoint installation, or sharepoint online?

The report server does not support refreshing from sharepoint online. That is only available in the Power BI Service.

Thank you for the quick response. This explanation is very helpful and clearly clarifies the difference between SharePoint Online and on-premises support in Power BI Report Server. I appreciate your help.
