Hi @Anupama,

 

I would highly suggest you to use Power BI Desktop as your report authoring environment.

 

Using Power BI Desktop, You can connect to Azure SQL Database and once you finish authoring the report, You can publish to the PowerBI.com.

 

PowerBI.Com is report rendering environment where you can share reports/dashboards to the users via workspaces/apps.

 

Hope this makes sense!

 

Thanks,

Bhavesh
