Disconnect between Desktop & Report Server

What I am unable to do is select any of the Report Server datasets when Getting Data, because PBI Desktop then attempts to "log me in" which leads to the steps I detailed.
This would be because PBI Report Server does not currently support shared datasets.
So PBI Desktop is trying to sign you in to powerbi.com to connect you datasets stored there.
Your only real option for sharing tabular models on-prem is to develop those models in SSDT and deploy them to an on-prem Analysis Services tabular instance (if you have one)
Hi mmaster ,
so If I understand you arn't able to connect to the Power BI Reports Server?
1) You need the Power BI Desktop which is for the Power BI Report Server (In your case this one)
2) If you like to publish a report go to file - save as - on report Server - than choose your URL where you report server is
If you Sign in with your account you will connect with the Power BI Service (app.powerbi.com) this is the cloud version of Power BI :).
Best,
Kathrin

Kathrin,
I believe you may have misunderstood my issue. I am able to publish to the PBI Report Server. What I am unable to do is select any of the Report Server datasets when Getting Data, because PBI Desktop then attempts to "log me in" which leads to the steps I detailed.
Thank you,
Michael
