    Hello Amerikaner !

     

    This works fine for me, I have worked with my power BI service hosted datsets connected live with a Premium per User workspace. It works the same way it works with Power Bi Desktop ,I only had to enable XMLA Read Write on my Power BI tenant .

     

    I am able to use DataSOurce -->Add Power Bi Datset Connection and it works seemlessly from there.

    And If you want to use your local power BI dataset, then please open up your PBix file that contains the dataset on local and then copy the port name from DAX studio or local folder (you may find that on web how to get that) . Now use this to connect to "SQL Server Analysis Services" connection :

     

    You are good to use your paginated with this datasource creating the datsets on this ! Only issue is that you will need to keep your PBIX running and also if you choose to close it /restart machine then change the datsource to new port/select new DB that appears on new Pbix open.

     

     

     

    Thanks!

Hi Abhinav,

Thanks again for your quick response.  First, I went into my Data Source Credentials in the Premium Workspace, noticed invalid credentials and updated (see attached).

 

 

 

Second, I sourced the Workspace Connection from my Premium Workspace.

 

Third, I opened SQL Server Profiler, File/New Trace and tried to connect to the Premium Workspace. See attached. 

 

 

 

 

 

As noted above, I was unsuccesssful.

Hmm... This may be teh same reason that MS is investigating. 

Just to confirm you did select dataset in options?

        Hi Abhinav,

         

        I found the solution and must give credit to Peter Myers (Bitwise Solutions) and Chris Finlan (Microsoft) as I followed their XMLA end point process from the Power BI Paginated Reports in a Day Series,Video #15 (Visualizing Report Data - Part 2, Begin Marker 1:20 | End Marker 2:30. 

         

        Two discoveries: 1) Do Not Select "Add Power BI Dataset Connection", Do Select "Add Data Source", then Select "Microsft SQL Server Analysis Services" and 2) Under Data Source Properties / Credentials, Select "Do Not Use Credentials". This fixed the issue for me. Screenshots below.
