Power BI Report Server Shared Data Source

[sohi429]

In the Power BI Report Server, there is an option to create a new data source on the server.

Can any of the published data sources be used by reports published to the report server?

If not, then what is the use case for these published data sources?

Thank you

They're used for paginated reports (e.g. SSRS reports). You cannot use them for Power BI reports.

How are they used? There isn't an option to connect to them through Report Builder. Thanx

Yes, you can use shared data source (stored on PBIRS) for paginted reports in Report Builder.
