    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."}}"

      Regards

    Hi Anonymous ,
