    Hi iamsordz 

    Thank for your patience.  

     

    We have found a mitigation for some customers that are experiencing this issue in the October release. Let me know if the following works for you:

     

    Copy the following libraries from the bin directory of PowerBI Desktop for RS into PowerBI Report Server's PowerBI directory

    1. For Desktop for RS, copy the following files from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop RS\bin (adjusting for your base installation directory)
      1. Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AzureClient.dll
      2. Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AzureClient.dll.manifest
      3. msolap.dll
    2. Copy the files to Power BI Report server C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Report Server\PBIRS\PowerBI (adjusting for your base installation directory)

     

    Thanks,

    Gabe
