Mrquestionmark I have the same issue as you. I couldn't get my Azure DevOps/VSTS report to refresh from the On-Prem server, but the scheduled refresh did work when I moved it to the Power BI Cloud.

    Curious if anyone else has a solution for this.  Just tried to publish our first PBI reporting hitting devops to our on premise server, getting similar errors.

      Hello,

       

      I spent 2 days with Microsoft troubleshooting this issue. This is what we figured out:

      Problem

      I am attempting to do a data refresh for a power bi dashboard that has a connection to analytic services in azure dev ops. having an issue with the analytics services that connects my Azure Boards to Power BI. I get an error when the scheduled refresh runs. I’ve spent two days trying everything suggested on forums etc, but my issue doesn’t appear to be the same.  Right now , I will have to manually update this dashboard every 2 hours which isn’t the best plan.

       

      Error Message

       

      Findings

      Azure DevOps Data Source is not supported in PBIRS today. That is the reason we are seeing the message in Schedule Refresh Screen.

       

       

      However, It is supported in Power BI Service. We understand you are working with your internal team regarding PBI Cloud Service details.
