PowerBi embeded data sources query
Hi tcschroeder ,
Power BI Desktop as a tool does not have a corresponding database (like when report server is deployed, a corresponding database is created, so we can look up its data source information via sql). We need to use Power BI Desktop to open the PBIX file and then view the data source through the following interface.

Hi tcschroeder ，
You could obtain the data source name corresponding to the report in the specified database through the following TSQL query:
USE [ReportServer]
GO
SELECT CATALOG.NAME
,CATALOG.[Path]
,DataSource.NAME datasource
,CATALOG.[Description]
,Created.UserName AS CreatedByUser
,CATALOG.[CreationDate]
,Modified.UserName AS ModifiedByUser
,CATALOG.[ModifiedDate]
FROM [dbo].[Catalog]
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT [UserID]
,[UserName]
FROM [dbo].[Users]
) AS Created ON CATALOG.CreatedByID = Created.UserID
LEFT JOIN (
SELECT [UserID]
,[UserName]
FROM [dbo].[Users]
) AS Modified ON CATALOG.ModifiedByID = Modified.UserID
JOIN DataSource ON CATALOG.ItemID = DataSource.ItemID
JOIN CATALOG cat1 ON DataSource.Link = cat1.ItemID
WHERE CATALOG.[Type] = 2
ORDER BY [Path]
,NAME
And you could get data from sql through using Power BI.
Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

Actually no. This is showing the data sources for the SSRS reports (.rdl's). That is what I am able to get. What I am interested in is the data sources for PowerBI documents (.pbix).
