    Hi vijaykaali811, 

     

    What you're seeing is expected behavior,the Power BI Service (app.powerbi.com) allows only limited data sources like Excel or CSV when building reports directly online. The Web connector is not available in this environment. To use a Web URL, you’ll need to create the report in Power BI Desktop, where the Web data source is supported, and then publish it to the Power BI Service. Once published, you can configure refresh settings as needed. This is the recommended method for using web-based data in Power BI.

    Thank you Community members for your involement.
