Hi @Anonymous ,

 

There are some difference in SQL data and SQL Azure , see more detail :

What are the datasource settings to use the "SQL Data extension"?

The error message is usually because the data source connection type has been set to a SQL server but really is an Azure SQL server. In Power BI Report Builder it's pretty easy to fix.

Open the report go to 'Data Sources' => 'Data Source Properties':

Under here you can switch the connection type to 'Microsoft Azure SQL Database':

Once the switch is made and the credentials reentered, you can save the report and upload it to the workspace.

How to update this using power bi service . 

 

I am using something like this we need to upload the report to multiple server some of which is sql and some of it is Azure sql . 

var connectionDetails = new RdlDatasourceConnectionDetails
{Database = tenant.Databases.DbName,Server = serverName};
var det = new UpdateRdlDatasourcesRequest
{ UpdateDetails = new List<UpdateRdlDatasourceDetails>{
new UpdateRdlDatasourceDetails(connectionDetails, dataSourcesForPaginatedReport.Name)}
};
await ServicePrincipalProfileService.Reports.UpdateDatasourcesInGroupAsync(tenant.WorkspaceId,
clonedReport.Id, det);

above code throwing error "{"error":{"code":"InvalidRequest","message":"Code: UnsupportedDataSource Message: Datasources contains invalid data source: <ccon>DataSource1</ccon>. Azure SQL Database is not supported by the SQL data extension. Please use the SQL Azure data extension instead."}}"

Sam
