Shared data source connection (live to Tabular SSAS) for reports published on Power BI Report Server

[shree_harsha]

Currently each Power BI report published to the Report Server has its own data source embedded within the report. Any change in the source would require us to change hundreds of published reports individually. Could we have a shared data source/connection similar to SSRS Reports that would help us manage deployment and changes much more efficiently.

This feature is really needed from our company, please reconsider it.

I hope the development team reconsiders this item. The api to update the passwords helps (we are in a high security environment so all accounts must have new passwords monthly) however when multiple dashboards utilize the same data source it places undue load on the source systems because each individual dashboard must refresh the internal dataset independently when they could all be using a shared data set.

This makes zero sense that a feature that was available with SSRS is now not available in the next generation (PowerBI report server). This probably affects hundreds of customers paying quite a lot of money for features promised with SQL Server Enterprise...

Please reconsider. This feature is a must have IMHO.
