Power BI local server connection to Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics

I have stumbled upon, in my opinion, interesting case scenario to which I can not find the answer to.

I have a Power BI pro license on app.power.bi, there I am using Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics to check statistics. I also have a local Power BI report server where I publish needed reports to be accessible within the company. I have a file that an intern made long ago Power BI desktop version by connecting to Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics (I am not entirely sure how he did it, because I found no connections possible through Power BI desktop)

My question is: is it somehow possible to connect Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics to be used through Power BI desktop and then upload the file to the report server?

I have tried uploading the already available file to the report server and while trying to connect to the data source with my credentials I get the error: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: uriString.

Have tried reading forums, but did not find a concrete answer to this, if I missed it - please correct me
