    Thankyou, lbendlin, for your response.

    Hi _megynmc,

    Based on our understanding, the 404 error on /services/data/v48.0/sobjects/Report/describe indicates that Power BI is authenticating successfully, but Salesforce is not exposing the Report object metadata endpoint via the REST API. This issue is typically related to API accessibility or permissions.
    Please request your Salesforce Administrator to verify that REST API access to the Report object is enabled, that the user has API Enabled, Run Reports, Export Reports, and appropriate folder access permissions. It is advisable to test the endpoint via Salesforce Workbench or REST Explorer. You may also perform a test with a simple tabular report located in an accessible folder to isolate configuration issues.

    Your scenario is supported subject to Salesforce limitations, such as the 2,000 row cap. If API access is confirmed and the issue persists, we kindly request you to raise a support ticket using the link provided:Microsoft Fabric Support and Status | Microsoft Fabric

     

    We hope that the information provided helps to resolve the issue. Should you have any further queries, please feel free to contact the Microsoft Fabric community.

    Thank you.

    The Salesforce Admin updated something on their end, which finally allowed the reports to be exposed. I am guessing that it was in, in fact, related to the REST API because now I can see all of the reports including the one I was looking for.
