Hi Anonymous,
The data source which you created in Power BI report server is not used by Power BI report. It's a shared data source which can be used by SSRS paginated reports and mobiles reports.
To create a Power BI report, we need to connect to SQL Server data source inside of the Power BI desktop by Get Data.
