Hi, @Rajnish366 


Based on your description, here is the process of migrating from Power BI Report Server to Power BI Services and setting up reports and dashboards.

 

1.Migrating from Power BI Report Server to Power BI Services

   Prerequisites: You need a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User license and write access to the workspace.
   Supported Versions: You can migrate reports from SSRS instances running on-premises or on virtual machines hosted by cloud providers like Azure.
   Migration Process: You can migrate .rdl files and Power BI reports (.pbix files) from Power BI Report Server and SQL Server 2022 Reporting Services to the Power BI service.
   Steps to Migrate: Browse to reports -> Select reports -> Publish.
