Hi @XIANG,

Based on your error message, please review this article to check your configuration of your report server.

Please view the Log File and check the reason, which usually locates in the path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRSxx.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles

In addition, please try a simple report and publish it to report server, and check if it works well.

Best Regards,
Angelia

Make sure the Power BI Desktop version you're using (client app for report creation) matches or is "less than" the version you have installed on the actual report server. See my blog post on this error message for step-by-step guidance.

For complete: 

I use the SSAS tabular mode for data source  

You have to use the Connect Live to the SSAS Tabular model. Did you configure the Power BI Report Server? and able to browse the portal?
