Can I use PBI Service dataset for PBI Report Server?

Hi,

 

So I have model in PBI which I use for multiple reports and I always connect to PBI Service dataset and create new report for PBI Service.

*The dataset uses cloud and on-premise data via PBI Gateway.

Can I use this dataset for PBI Report Server?

Open PBI for Report server, select dataset from PBI Service, create report, upload report to PBI Report Server.

I tried it and I am getting an error: We couldn't connect to the Analysis Services server. Make sure you've entered the connection string correctly.

Thanks.

K.

  • I think this would only work if your dataset is on a premium capacity and you used the XMLA endpoint to connect. Otherwise you might just have to put your reports on the service too (since the dataset is already there anyway)

      What about dataflow? It's very similar so I guess not but is this also the case?
