Data Not Refreshed for Power BI Reports

Hi All,

 

I loaded several PBI reports onto Power BI Report Server, the data source are my company's local server, PBI dataset, PBI dataflow. But after I set up all the credentials & connections, when I click on "Refresh", none of reports are refreshed. (The one using PBI dataset can't even show the data).

Does anyone know why is this happening? How can I set up queries in PBI reports on PBI report server to run locally?

I may be mistaken but I do not believe that live Power BI datasets and dataflows are supported on Power BI Report server.

Hi Greg,

 

Thank you for your reply, Power BI dataset&dataflow are not supported indeed...But do u know the possible reason that the ones with local SQL Server db can't be refreshed either?
