    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 ,

I think this really confusing that you are able to choose dataset in the PBI Desktop optimized for Report Server. But at the moment there is no dataset available on the Report Server like d_gosbell  mentioned. 

The only way is to connect to a SSAS (Analysis Service) and push the Data into a Cube to use this as dataset 🙂 also like d_gosbell told.

 

Best,

Kathrin
