Power BI Report Server (connect to Power BI Service)

[dsutt519]

Is anyone using Power BI Report Server?

Does anyone have an idea when MS will allow Report Server to connect to the Power BI Service?

Report Server does not seem very useful to Power BI users if you can only connect to AS.

We always appreciate feedback and I wanted to let you know that your request does not fall on deaf ears.

We are looking to expand the functionality of the Power BI Report Server and will have exciting updates in the future around dates for heavily requested features. Thanks for taking the time to post today.

Petebro,

Thanks for your reply—it is just very disappointing that the GA version of Power BI Report Server does not allow one to connect to Power BI. I hope this gets fixed soon—I’m sure this is a top priority feature for just about everyone.

Or to SQL or to Web services..  I had really high hopes for the GA release.

My wish list:

Connect to SQL Server.

Connect to SSAS (MDX).

Connect to Web services.

Maps to handle alternative spatial coords (NZTM vs Lat/long) or enable the ArcGIS plugin.

R Statistics..
