non analysis services data source connection power bi desktop publish to power bi report server

Hi

 

In August 2017 preview they mentioned , how to connect non - analysis services data source connection to power bi desktop and publish to power bi report server.

 

when we try to connect it , showing below error. How to resolve it.

 

Error: We can't publish this power bi desktop report because it contains an un supported data source connection or embedded data. This preview version supports only power bi desktop that connect live to SSAS .

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

There are a few limitations with using non-Analysis Services live connections. In your data source or report, if there is following items? More details, please review this article.

Scheduled data refresh is currently not available for reports using imported data.

  • DirectQuery data connections are not currently supported.
  • Scale-out environments are not officially supported.
  • Reports must be smaller than 50 MB in size.

In addition, you'd better post Power Bi report server case to the right forum. You can get specific support there. Thanks for understanding.

Best Regards,
Angelia
