Does Power BI report(.pbix) support shared data source?

Hi All,

 

Is it possible to use a shared data source created on the Power BI Report Server in a Power BI Report that I am trying to create using Power BI Desktop?

 

Thanks

    Yes it is possible.

     

    Get Data > Power BI Datasets

     

    This will display all the datasources available under your account (You have access to)

      But this applies to the Power BI Service, right? I am talking about the datasets created on Power BI report server. Any idea, please.

       

      thanks

        Hi pragyamishra,

         

        No. As of now, it is not supported to connect to a shared dataset hosted on Power BI Report Server in Power BI dektop. You could submit this idea here to make PG aware of this feature request.
